He was on the field for 90 percent of the snaps in the games he played.
Head to head
This season Jameson Williams holds the bigger snap share, 90 percent against 57 percent.
Their target share this season is the same, 15 percent each.
Byes and availability
Germie Bernard is off in Week 9 and Jameson Williams in Week 6, so either can cover the other's bye.
What would change the answer
0.6 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.
