The gap

  • Price difference2.5 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

Deshaun Watson's market-based projection is 13.0 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 14 market sources. That is the 56th 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 7 market sources. That is the 77th highest figure of the 217 players with a market-based projection.

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Deshaun Watson, and the board ranks him 147th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Carson Beck, and the board ranks him 177th overall on the rest of his evidence.

This season through Week 8

Through Week 8, Deshaun Watson has been on the field for 99 percent of CLE snaps, dropped back 306 times and thrown 7.2 air yards an attempt.

He has been sacked or hit on 65 of 306 dropbacks and scrambled 24 times.

In Week 6 against BAL he completed 16 of 26 passes for 164 yards, threw 0 touchdowns and 0 interceptions and ran 8 times for 29 yards.

In Week 7 against TEN he completed 25 of 36 passes for 308 yards, threw 0 touchdowns and 1 interception and ran 3 times for 19 yards.

In Week 8 against PIT he completed 27 of 39 passes for 324 yards, threw 0 touchdowns and 0 interceptions and ran 2 times for 3 yards.

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

Their last full seasons

The season feed carries no line for Deshaun Watson in the last completed season.

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

Byes and availability

Deshaun Watson is off in Week 11 and Carson Beck in Week 14, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

2.5 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.
