Jayden Daniels or Deshaun Watson: who should I start in Week 5?
Both players' season market price, their usage this season and their last full season's numbers, with the draft market's own figures wherever it still has them.
Updated Oct 7, 2026 at 5:41 PM ET
The market prices Jayden Daniels 1.3 points a game ahead of Deshaun Watson this season, and that is the order this page leads on. Neither is in the consensus draft sample any more, so there is no current draft order to give between them: the market price is the live read on these two.

Head to head
This season Deshaun Watson holds the bigger snap share, 100 percent against 77 percent.
Their target share this season is the same, 0 percent each.
What would change the answer
1.3 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 the consensus sample holds these two again it can order them differently from the price, and this page will follow the sample rather than the market price when it does.
