Should I start Courtland Sutton or Dak Prescott in Week 7?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Courtland Sutton, and the board ranks him 56th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Dak Prescott, and the board ranks him 58th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Courtland Sutton's market-based projection is 9.0 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 9 market sources. That is the 69th highest figure of the 198 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Dak Prescott is 19.2 PPR points a game off 3 markets across 11 market sources. That is 70 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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