Should I start Daniel Jones or Jerry Jeudy in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 5:26 PM ET.

Start Daniel Jones: 100 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Jerry Jeudy's 61 percent of the snaps and 16 percent of the targets. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

Should I drop Jerry Jeudy for Daniel Jones?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Daniel Jones projects 151 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (15.1 a game over 10 games), Jerry Jeudy 38 (3.8 a game over 10 games).

The gap

  • Board size314 draftable players

Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Daniel Jones, and the board ranks him 148th overall on the rest of his evidence.

In 2QB drafts he goes at ADP 34.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Jerry Jeudy, and the board ranks him 149th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Daniel Jones is 13.4 PPR points a game off 4 markets across 12 market sources. That is 80 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Jerry Jeudy's market-based projection is 5.0 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 128th highest figure of the 213 players with a market-based projection.

Daniel Jones's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

Daniel Jones finished QB17 and Jerry Jeudy WR52, which are two different ladders.

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

Byes and availability

Daniel Jones is off in Week 13 and Jerry Jeudy in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.
