The gap

  • Price difference0.1 points a game
  • Board size300 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 the market projection.

The market-based projections

Josh Cameron's market-based projection is 4.1 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 11 market sources. That is the 47th highest figure of the 183 players with a market-based projection.

Ja'Kobi Lane's market-based projection is 3.9 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 11 market sources. That is the 49th highest figure of the 183 players with a market-based projection.

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Josh Cameron, and the board ranks him 67th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Ja'Kobi Lane, and the board ranks him 70th overall on the rest of his evidence.

This season through Week 8

Through Week 8, Josh Cameron has been on the field for 35 percent of JAX snaps, drawn 7 percent of the targets and had 6 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 2 of the offence's 48 third down targets, had 1 of its 16 chances inside the five and seen 3 of its 23 two minute targets.

His 13 targets have averaged 6.7 air yards.

In Week 5 against PHI he caught 3 of 6 targets for 43 yards and did not score.

In Week 6 against HOU he was not given the ball.

In Week 8 against IND he caught 0 of 1 target for 0 yards and did not score.

Through Week 8, Ja'Kobi Lane has been on the field for 54 percent of BAL snaps, drawn 12 percent of the targets and had 15 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 9 of the offence's 39 third down targets, had 1 of its 8 chances inside the five and seen 3 of its 16 two minute targets.

His 14 targets have averaged 10.6 air yards.

In Week 6 against CLE he caught 4 of 5 targets for 40 yards and did not score.

In Week 7 against CIN he caught 3 of 5 targets for 25 yards and did not score.

In Week 8 against BUF he caught 1 of 1 target for 13 yards and did not score.

Their last full seasons

Josh Cameron is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

Ja'Kobi Lane is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

Head to head

This season Ja'Kobi Lane holds the bigger snap share, 54 percent against 35 percent.

This season Ja'Kobi Lane holds the bigger target share, 12 percent against 7 percent.

Byes and availability

Josh Cameron is off in Week 7 and Ja'Kobi Lane in Week 13, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

0.1 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.

Should I drop Ja'Kobi Lane?
