Dak Prescott or Geno Smith: who should I start in Week 6?

Where the draft room stands

Drafters have formed no consensus on Dak Prescott: he carries no ADP, and the board ranks him 67th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Drafters have formed no consensus on Geno Smith: he carries no ADP, and the board ranks him 98th overall on the rest of his evidence.

What the player markets price

The player markets price Dak Prescott at 18.6 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 14 market sources. That is the 12th highest figure of the 142 players the market prices.

The market has Geno Smith at 16.1 PPR points a game off 3 markets across 10 market sources. That is 70 percent of what a quarterback's price needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Geno Smith's price is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
