Cam Ward or Keaton Mitchell: who should I start in Week 6?

Where the draft room stands

Drafters have formed no consensus on Cam Ward: he carries no ADP, and the board ranks him 150th overall on the rest of his evidence.

In 2QB drafts he goes at ADP 43.

Our board does not carry Keaton Mitchell at all right now: the consensus draft sample has dropped him and there is no player market on him this week, so he has no rank, no tier and no ADP here.
