Should I start Jalon Daniels or Josh Allen in Week 7?

Updated Oct 22, 11:06 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.

Jalon Daniels and Josh Allen are too close to call on usage: 100 percent of the snaps and 1 percent of the targets against 100 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games. 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.

Should I drop Jalon Daniels for Josh Allen?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Josh Allen projects 232 market-implied PPR points from Week 8 through Week 17 (23.2 a game over 10 games), Jalon Daniels 124 (13.8 a game over 9 games).

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 has them

Live drafts hold no current pick on Jalon Daniels, and the board ranks him 223rd overall on the rest of his evidence.

Josh Allen goes at ADP 1, an average pick of 24.3, and the board has him QB32 in tier 9.

His earliest recorded pick is 1 and his latest 37, a standard deviation of 9.0 picks.

He appears in 16 recorded drafts across the draft formats we track.

In 2QB drafts he goes at ADP 2.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Jalon Daniels is 1.5 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 0 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

No season market is posted for Josh Allen, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
