Should I start Jahan Dotson or Kyle Juszczyk in Week 7?

Updated Oct 24, 6:56 AM ET.

Start Jahan Dotson: 71 percent of the snaps and 14 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Kyle Juszczyk's 51 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the carries. 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 size329 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 Jahan Dotson, and the board ranks him 129th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Kyle Juszczyk, and the board ranks him 130th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Jahan Dotson's market-based projection is 6.9 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 114th highest figure of the 205 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Kyle Juszczyk is 6.1 PPR points a game off 3 markets across 13 market sources. That is 60 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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

This season through Week 6

Through Week 6, Jahan Dotson has been on the field for 70 percent of ATL snaps, drawn 14 percent of the targets and had 9 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 7 of the offence's 47 third down targets, had 1 of its 13 chances inside the five and seen 2 of its 18 two minute targets.

His 22 targets have averaged 16.6 air yards.

In Week 4 against NO he caught 2 of 3 targets for 54 yards and scored 1 touchdown.

Through Week 6, Kyle Juszczyk has been on the field for 49 percent of SF snaps, taken 0 percent of the carries, drawn 6 percent of the targets and had 3 percent of the red zone chances.

Their 2025 seasons

He caught 18 of 36 targets for 262 yards and 1 touchdown, with 3 red zone targets.

That came to 2.1 targets a game, a 50 percent catch rate and 14.6 yards a catch.

He was on the field for 55 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

The season feed carries no line for Kyle Juszczyk in the last completed season.

Side by side

Jahan Dotson is a wide receiver and Kyle Juszczyk a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Jahan Dotson is off in Week 11. No bye is listed for Kyle Juszczyk.

What would change the answer

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