This season through Week 8

Through Week 8, Jameson Williams has been on the field for 88 percent of DET snaps, drawn 18 percent of the targets and had 9 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 11 of the offence's 60 third down targets, had 0 of its 22 chances inside the five and seen 7 of its 30 two minute targets.

His 44 targets have averaged 14.9 air yards.

In Week 5 against ARI he caught 2 of 4 targets for 47 yards and scored 2 touchdowns.

In Week 7 against GB he caught 5 of 9 targets for 91 yards and scored 2 touchdowns.

In Week 8 against MIN he caught 4 of 6 targets for 70 yards and scored 1 touchdown.

Through Week 8, Jadarian Price has been on the field for 36 percent of SEA snaps, taken 39 percent of the carries, drawn 9 percent of the targets and had 8 percent of the red zone chances.

He caught 65 of 102 targets for 1117 yards and 7 touchdowns, with 8 red zone targets.

That came to 6.0 targets a game, a 64 percent catch rate and 17.2 yards a catch.

He was on the field for 90 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Jadarian Price is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

Side by side

Jameson Williams is a wide receiver and Jadarian Price a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Jameson Williams is off in Week 6 and Jadarian Price in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

1.3 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.
