Should I start Jared Goff or Justice Hill in Week 9?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Jared Goff, and the board ranks him 77th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Justice Hill, and the board ranks him 78th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Jared Goff is 18.2 PPR points a game off 4 markets across 9 market sources. That is 80 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Justice Hill's market-based projection is 6.5 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 101st highest figure of the 219 players with a market-based projection.

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