Start C.J. Stroud: 96 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Carson Wentz's 91 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets. 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.

The gap
- Board size306 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 each player's usage.
Where the draft room stands
Live drafts hold no current pick on Carson Wentz, and the board ranks him 11th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on C.J. Stroud, and the board ranks him 135th overall on the rest of his evidence.
In 2QB drafts he goes at ADP 30.
The market-based projections
No season market is posted for Carson Wentz, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
The market has C.J. Stroud at 1.1 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 0 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
