  • : Kyler Murray: Listed Questionable (Hamstring) (Sleeper injury feed)

Daniel Jones and Kyler Murray are too close to call on usage: 100 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets against 100 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games. 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 Daniel Jones for Kyler Murray?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Kyler Murray projects 154 market-implied PPR points from Week 9 through Week 17 (17.1 a game over 9 games), Daniel Jones 119 (14.9 a game over 8 games). Kyler Murray is listed questionable.
