Should I start Mark Andrews or Jeremiyah Love in Week 9?

Live drafts hold no current pick on Jeremiyah Love, and the board ranks him 129th overall on the rest of his evidence.

By format he goes standard: ADP 10; 2QB: ADP 29.

The market-based projections

Mark Andrews's market-based projection is 5.6 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 14 market sources. That is the 105th highest figure of the 219 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Jeremiyah Love is 2.4 PPR points a game off 1 market across 2 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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

Side by side

Mark Andrews is a tight end and Jeremiyah Love a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Mark Andrews is off in Week 13 and Jeremiyah Love in Week 14, so either can cover the other's bye.

Jeremiyah Love is listed as ir on the injury report.

What would change the answer

Jeremiyah Love has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
