Quinshon Judkins or Denzel Boston: who should I start in Week 6?

Where the draft room stands

Drafters have formed no consensus on Quinshon Judkins: he carries no ADP, and the board ranks him 93rd overall on the rest of his evidence.

Drafters have formed no consensus on Denzel Boston: he carries no ADP, and the board ranks him 98th overall on the rest of his evidence.

What the player markets price

The market has Quinshon Judkins at 2.8 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a running back's price needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

The market has Denzel Boston at 2.4 PPR points a game off 1 market across 5 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's price needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Quinshon Judkins's price is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

Side by side

Quinshon Judkins is a running back and Denzel Boston a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Both are off in Week 11, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.

Quinshon Judkins is listed as questionable on the injury report.
