Byes and availability

Jacoby Brissett is off in Week 14 and Quentin Johnston in Week 7, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

7.7 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 the consensus sample holds these two again it can order them differently from the projection, and this page will follow the sample rather than the market-based projection when it does.
