  • : Jack Bech: IR to Questionable (Forearm, Fracture) (Sleeper injury feed)

Start Jerry Jeudy: 61 percent of the snaps and 9 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Jack Bech's 36 percent of the snaps and 2 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.
