Head to head

This season Terry McLaurin holds the bigger snap share, 73 percent against 48 percent.

This season Terry McLaurin holds the bigger target share, 22 percent against 11 percent.

Byes and availability

Terry McLaurin is off in Week 7 and Germie Bernard in Week 9, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

0.0 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.
