Head to head

This season Germie Bernard holds the bigger target share, 15 percent against 8 percent.

Byes and availability

Germie Bernard is off in Week 9 and Marvin Mims Jr. in Week 10, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

9.4 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.
