This season Ja'Kobi Lane holds the bigger target share, 15 percent against 9 percent.

Byes and availability

Ja'Kobi Lane is off in Week 13. No bye is listed for Darnell Mooney.

What would change the answer

0.9 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.
