Should I start Geno Smith or Jaxson Dart in Week 9?
Updated Nov 4, 11:51 AM ET. Week 10 answers post Tuesday.
Start Geno Smith: 100 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Jaxson Dart's 60 percent of the snaps and 0 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.

The gap
- Board size308 draftable players
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 Geno Smith, and the board ranks him 226th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Jaxson Dart, and the board ranks him 245th overall on the rest of his evidence.
In 2QB drafts he goes at ADP 16.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Geno Smith is 0.6 PPR points a game off 1 market across 2 market sources. That is 0 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
No season market is posted for Jaxson Dart, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
