Start Prescott or Goff? The full Week 10 breakdown

Start Dak Prescott: his market-based projection is 1.1 points a game ahead of Jared Goff's this season.

Should I drop Dak Prescott for Jared Goff?

Not on these numbers alone. Dak Prescott projects 128 market-implied PPR points from Week 10 through Week 17 (18.3 a game over 7 games) and Jared Goff 132 (16.5 a game over 8 games), too close to separate, so the roster spot decides it. For Week 10 the call starts Dak Prescott over Jared Goff, 17.7 to 16.6 projected PPR points.

Byes and availability

Dak Prescott is off in Week 14 and Jared Goff in Week 6, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

1.1 points a game is the entire case. The market restates it every week, and a line that moves moves the order with it.

The draft market is the half that is missing: when live drafts hold these two again they can order them differently from the projection, and this page will follow the drafts rather than the market-based projection when they do.
