Head to head
This season Deshaun Watson holds the bigger snap share, 99 percent against 94 percent.
Their target share this season is the same, 0 percent each.
Byes and availability
Deshaun Watson is off in Week 11 and Jacoby Brissett in Week 13, so either can cover the other's bye.
What would change the answer
0.3 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.
