Jacoby Brissett or Joe Burrow: who should I start in Week 5?

What the player markets price
The player markets price Jacoby Brissett at 17.7 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 16 market sources. That is the 17th highest figure of the 183 players the market prices.
The market has Joe Burrow at 17.5 PPR points a game off 4 markets across 12 market sources. That is 80 percent of what a quarterback's price needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Joe Burrow's price is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
