Their target share this season is the same, 18 percent each.

Byes and availability

Jerry Jeudy is off in Week 11 and Makai Lemon in Week 10, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

0.6 points a game is the entire case. The books restate it every week, and a line that moves moves the order with it.

The draft market is the half that is missing: when the consensus sample holds these two again it can order them differently from the price, and this page will follow the sample rather than the books when it does.
