Should I start Geno Smith or Greg Dulcich in Week 8?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Geno Smith, and the board ranks him 99th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Greg Dulcich, and the board ranks him 101st overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Geno Smith is 16.7 PPR points a game off 4 markets across 12 market sources. That is 90 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Greg Dulcich's market-based projection is 7.8 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 12 market sources. That is the 103rd highest figure of the 210 players with a market-based projection.

Geno Smith's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

Byes and availability
