Should I drop Jared Goff for Joe Burrow?

Not on these numbers alone. Jared Goff projects 184 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (16.7 a game over 11 games) and Joe Burrow 186 (16.9 a game over 11 games), too close to separate, so the roster spot decides it. For Week 7 the call starts Joe Burrow over Jared Goff.
