Should I start Travis Kelce or Dak Prescott in Week 7?

Where the draft room stands

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

Live drafts hold no current pick on Dak Prescott, and the board ranks him 63rd overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Travis Kelce's market-based projection is 11.0 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 75th highest figure of the 214 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Dak Prescott is 18.4 PPR points a game off 4 markets across 13 market sources. That is 80 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.

Side by side

Byes and availability
