Should I start Jerry Jeudy or Ray Davis in Week 8?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Jerry Jeudy, and the board ranks him 142nd overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Ray Davis, and the board ranks him 144th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Jerry Jeudy's market-based projection is 5.3 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 8 market sources. That is the 123rd highest figure of the 209 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Ray Davis is 1.6 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 12 market sources. That is 70 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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

Side by side

Jerry Jeudy finished WR52 and Ray Davis RB61, which are two different ladders.

Byes and availability

Jerry Jeudy is off in Week 11 and Ray Davis in Week 7, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer
