Their target share this season is the same, 0 percent each.
Byes and availability
Daniel Jones is off in Week 13. No bye is listed for Deshaun Watson.
What would change the answer
0.3 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 the consensus sample holds these two again it can order them differently from the projection, and this page will follow the sample rather than the market-based projection when it does.
