Tanner McKee or Lamar Jackson: who should I start in Week 6?
Neither man carries a season projection right now, so this is their usage this season and their last full season's numbers, side by side.
Neither is in the consensus draft sample any more, and the market has not posted a whole projection for either of them, so there is no current market order to give between these two. What follows is what each of them has already done.
