Should I start Jared Goff or Savion Williams in Week 9?

Updated Nov 4, 6:11 AM ET.

Start Jared Goff: 99 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Savion Williams's 56 percent of the snaps and 7 percent of the targets. 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 Savion Williams for Jared Goff?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Jared Goff projects 149 market-implied PPR points from Week 9 through Week 17 (16.5 a game over 9 games), Savion Williams 47 (5.9 a game over 8 games).

The gap

  • Board size306 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 Jared Goff, and the board ranks him 75th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Savion Williams, and the board ranks him 76th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Jared Goff is 18.1 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.

Savion Williams's market-based projection is 5.9 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 9 market sources. That is the 89th 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.
