Should I start Josh Cameron or Rashee Rice in Week 9?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Josh Cameron, and the board ranks him 135th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Rashee Rice, and the board ranks him 143rd overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Josh Cameron's market-based projection is 3.4 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 14 market sources. That is the 132nd highest figure of the 219 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Rashee Rice is 2.8 PPR points a game off 1 market across 9 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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

Their 2025 seasons

Josh Cameron is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

In 2025 Rashee Rice played 8 games and scored 150.1 PPR points, 18.8 a game, finishing WR40.

He caught 53 of 78 targets for 571 yards and 5 touchdowns, with 18 red zone targets.

That came to 9.8 targets a game, a 68 percent catch rate and 10.8 yards a catch.

He was on the field for 73 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Head to head

This season Rashee Rice holds the bigger snap share, 62 percent against 37 percent.

This season Rashee Rice holds the bigger target share, 16 percent against 7 percent.

Byes and availability

Josh Cameron is off in Week 7 and Rashee Rice in Week 5, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

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