Start Daniel Jones: he has been on the field this season, 100 percent of the snaps, and Joe Fagnano has no snap on record yet. 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.

The gap
- Board size300 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 Joe Fagnano, and the board ranks him 41st overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Daniel Jones, and the board ranks him 201st overall on the rest of his evidence.
In 2QB drafts he goes at ADP 34.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Joe Fagnano is 10.9 PPR points a game off 4 markets across 9 market sources. That is 80 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
The market-based projection for Daniel Jones is 1.1 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 0 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Joe Fagnano's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
