Should I start Daniel Jones or Cam Skattebo in Week 9?

Updated Nov 4, 5:21 PM ET.

Start Daniel Jones: 94 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Cam Skattebo's 43 percent of the snaps and 38 percent of the carries. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

Should I drop Cam Skattebo for Daniel Jones?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Daniel Jones projects 119 market-implied PPR points from Week 9 through Week 17 (14.9 a game over 8 games), Cam Skattebo 113 (12.5 a game over 9 games). Cam Skattebo is listed questionable.

The market-based projections

Daniel Jones's market-based projection is 14.9 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 43rd highest figure of the 225 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Cam Skattebo is 3.5 PPR points a game off 1 market across 9 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Cam Skattebo's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
