Start Dotson or Johnson? The full Week 7 breakdown

Start Jahan Dotson: his market-based projection is 0.2 points a game ahead of Tez Johnson's this season.

Not on these numbers alone. Tez Johnson projects 45 market-implied PPR points from Week 8 through Week 17 (5.0 a game over 9 games) and Jahan Dotson 48 (5.3 a game over 9 games), too close to separate, so the roster spot decides it. For Week 7 the call starts Jahan Dotson over Tez Johnson, 6.8 to 6.6 projected PPR points.

What would change the answer

0.2 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.
