  • : Drew Lock: Questionable to Out (Elbow) (Sleeper injury feed)

Start Drew Lock: 96 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Jalon Daniels's 73 percent of the snaps and 1 percent of the targets. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Jalon Daniels, and the board ranks him 288th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

No season market is posted for Drew Lock, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.

Neither carries a posted market, so this page rests on the draft room and on what the two have already done.
