Should I start Jared Goff or Colston Loveland in Week 7?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Jared Goff, and the board ranks him 53rd overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Colston Loveland, and the board ranks him 54th overall on the rest of his evidence.

By format he goes standard: ADP 20; 2QB: ADP 42.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Jared Goff is 19.4 PPR points a game off 4 markets across 12 market sources. That is 80 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Colston Loveland's market-based projection is 11.2 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 57th highest figure of the 199 players with a market-based projection.

Jared Goff's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

Side by side

Jared Goff finished QB9 and Colston Loveland TE12, which are two different ladders.

Byes and availability

Jared Goff is off in Week 6 and Colston Loveland in Week 10, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

Jared Goff has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
