Head to head

This season Drew Lock holds the bigger snap share, 97 percent against 17 percent.

Their target share this season is the same, 0 percent each.

Byes and availability

Drew Lock is off in Week 11 and Fernando Mendoza in Week 13, so either can cover the other's bye.

Drew Lock is listed as questionable on the injury report.

What would change the answer

3.1 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.
