Start TeSlaa or Cameron? The full Week 9 breakdown

Start Isaac TeSlaa: 57 percent of the snaps and 11 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Josh Cameron's 39 percent of the snaps and 8 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 size300 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 Josh Cameron, and the board ranks him 67th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Isaac TeSlaa, and the board ranks him 147th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Josh Cameron's market-based projection is 4.1 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 11 market sources. That is the 47th highest figure of the 183 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Isaac TeSlaa is 1.4 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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

This season so far

Through Week 8, Josh Cameron has been on the field for 35 percent of JAX snaps, drawn 7 percent of the targets and had 6 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 2 of the offence's 48 third down targets, had 1 of its 16 chances inside the five and seen 3 of its 23 two minute targets.

His 13 targets have averaged 6.7 air yards.

In Week 5 against PHI he caught 3 of 6 targets for 43 yards and did not score.

In Week 6 against HOU he was not given the ball.

In Week 8 against IND he caught 0 of 1 target for 0 yards and did not score.

Through Week 7, Isaac TeSlaa has been on the field for 60 percent of DET snaps, drawn 10 percent of the targets and had 6 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 4 of the offence's 52 third down targets, had 0 of its 21 chances inside the five and seen 6 of its 26 two minute targets.

In Week 4 against CAR he caught 4 of 8 targets for 95 yards and did not score.

In Week 5 against ARI he caught 0 of 2 targets for 0 yards and did not score.

In Week 7 against GB he caught 1 of 2 targets for 10 yards and did not score.

Their 2025 seasons

Josh Cameron is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

In 2025 Isaac TeSlaa played 17 games and scored 75.9 PPR points, 4.5 a game, finishing WR82.

He caught 16 of 27 targets for 239 yards and 6 touchdowns, with 10 red zone targets.

That came to 1.6 targets a game, a 59 percent catch rate and 14.9 yards a catch.

He was on the field for 38 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Head to head

This season Isaac TeSlaa holds the bigger snap share, 60 percent against 35 percent.

This season Isaac TeSlaa holds the bigger target share, 10 percent against 7 percent.

Byes and availability

Josh Cameron is off in Week 7 and Isaac TeSlaa in Week 6, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

Isaac TeSlaa has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
