Start Geno Smith: 100 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 size307 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 Geno Smith, and the board ranks him 174th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Carson Wentz, and the board ranks him 181st overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Geno Smith is 0.5 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.
The market-based projection for Carson Wentz is 0.4 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.
Geno Smith's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
