Should I start Deebo Samuel Sr. or Daniel Jones in Week 6?

Both players' season market-based projection, their usage this season and their last full season's numbers, with the draft market's own figures wherever it still has them.

Updated Oct 17, 1:36 AM ET.

Neither is in the consensus draft sample any more, and the market has not posted a whole projection for Deebo Samuel Sr., so there is no current market order to give between these two. What follows is what each of them has already done.

Side by side

Deebo Samuel Sr. is a wide receiver and Daniel Jones a quarterback, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Deebo Samuel Sr. is off in Week 8 and Daniel Jones in Week 13, so either can cover the other's bye.

Deebo Samuel Sr. is listed as out on the injury report.
