Daniel Jones or Lamar Jackson: who should I start in Week 6?

What the player markets price
The player markets price Daniel Jones at 16.3 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 6 market sources. That is the 28th highest figure of the 142 players the market prices.
The market has Lamar Jackson at 1.8 PPR points a game off 1 market across 2 market sources. That is 0 percent of what a quarterback's price needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Lamar Jackson's price is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
