Byes and availability

DJ Moore is off in Week 7 and Ollie Gordon II in Week 6, so either can cover the other's bye.

DJ Moore is listed as questionable on the injury report.

What would change the answer

0.5 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.
