Should I start Deshaun Watson or Omar Cooper Jr. in Week 7?

The market-based projections

This season through Week 6

He has been sacked or hit on 46 of 220 dropbacks and scrambled 22 times.

In Week 4 against PIT he completed 24 of 33 passes for 268 yards, threw 1 touchdown and 1 interception and ran 5 times for 24 yards.

In Week 5 against NYJ he completed 15 of 33 passes for 155 yards, threw 1 touchdown and 0 interceptions and ran 6 times for 40 yards.

In Week 6 against BAL he completed 16 of 26 passes for 164 yards, threw 0 touchdowns and 0 interceptions and ran 8 times for 29 yards.

His 8 targets have averaged 11.6 air yards.

In Week 1 against TEN he caught 1 of 1 target for 30 yards and did not score.

In Week 6 against NE he caught 6 of 7 targets for 103 yards and scored 1 touchdown.

Their last full seasons

The season feed carries no line for Deshaun Watson in the last completed season.

Omar Cooper Jr. is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

Side by side

Deshaun Watson is a quarterback and Omar Cooper Jr. a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Deshaun Watson is off in Week 11 and Omar Cooper Jr. in Week 13, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

6.9 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.
