Byes and availability

Daniel Jones is off in Week 13 and Kimani Vidal in Week 7, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

8.6 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 live drafts hold these two again they can order them differently from the projection, and this page will follow the drafts rather than the market-based projection when they do.
