The gap

  • Price difference3.5 points a game
  • Board size320 draftable players

Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from the market projection.

The market-based projections

Daniel Jones's market-based projection is 14.0 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 9 market sources. That is the 49th highest figure of the 217 players with a market-based projection.

Carson Beck's market-based projection is 10.5 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 5 market sources. That is the 76th highest figure of the 217 players with a market-based projection.

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Daniel Jones, and the board ranks him 137th overall on the rest of his evidence.

In 2QB drafts he goes at ADP 34.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Carson Beck, and the board ranks him 176th overall on the rest of his evidence.

This season through Week 9

He has been sacked or hit on 60 of 337 dropbacks and scrambled 12 times.

In Week 7 against MIN he completed 13 of 22 passes for 108 yards, threw 0 touchdowns and 1 interception and ran 4 times for 13 yards.

In Week 8 against JAX he completed 19 of 28 passes for 144 yards, threw 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions and ran 3 times for 8 yards.

In Week 9 against DAL he completed 20 of 34 passes for 180 yards, threw 1 touchdown and 1 interception and ran 3 times for 11 yards.

The usage feed holds no snap or target counts for Carson Beck this season.

Their 2025 seasons

In 2025 Daniel Jones played 13 games and scored 234.4 PPR points, 18.0 a game, finishing QB17.

He threw for 3101 yards on 384 attempts with 19 touchdowns and 8 interceptions, and ran for 164 yards and 5 touchdowns.

That came to 29-30 attempts a game at 8.1 yards an attempt.

He was on the field for 91 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Carson Beck is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

Byes and availability

Daniel Jones is off in Week 13 and Carson Beck in Week 14, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

3.5 points a game is the entire case. The market restates it every week, and a line that moves moves the order with it.

The draft market is the half that is missing: when live drafts hold these two again they can order them differently from the projection, and this page will follow the drafts rather than the market-based projection when they do.
