Should I drop Jared Goff for Joe Burrow?

Not on these numbers alone. Jared Goff projects 132 market-implied PPR points from Week 10 through Week 17 (16.5 a game over 8 games) and Joe Burrow 138 (17.3 a game over 8 games), too close to separate, so the roster spot decides it. For Week 10 the call starts Joe Burrow over Jared Goff, 23.5 to 16.6 projected PPR points.
