Should I start Daniel Jones or Kendre Miller in Week 9?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Daniel Jones, and the board ranks him 118th overall on the rest of his evidence.

In 2QB drafts he goes at ADP 34.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Kendre Miller, and the board ranks him 119th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Daniel Jones's market-based projection is 15.1 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 5 market sources. That is the 37th highest figure of the 220 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Kendre Miller is 3.2 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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

Side by side

Daniel Jones finished QB17 and Kendre Miller RB79, which are two different ladders.

Byes and availability

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

What would change the answer

Kendre Miller has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
