Should I start Geno Smith or Cam Skattebo in Week 9?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Geno Smith, and the board ranks him 131st overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Cam Skattebo, and the board ranks him 132nd overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Geno Smith's market-based projection is 14.0 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 8 market sources. That is the 53rd 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.

Byes and availability
