Should I drop DJ Moore for Jameson Williams?
Not on these numbers alone. DJ Moore projects 100 market-implied PPR points from Week 9 through Week 17 (11.1 a game over 9 games) and Jameson Williams 102 (11.3 a game over 9 games), too close to separate, so the roster spot decides it. For Week 9 the call starts Jameson Williams over DJ Moore. DJ Moore is listed questionable.
