Our Week 10 call
Start Matthew Stafford over Jared Goff in Week 10.
Market-based projections have Matthew Stafford at 15.9 points and Jared Goff at 16.6, a gap of 0.7. That is inside the noise of a single catch, so treat it as close to a coin flip. Matthew Stafford still gets the call because it also weighs where drafters take each player, ADP 75 against 106, and that outweighs a gap this size. No player market is posted for Matthew Stafford this week yet, so his 15.9 is the average of his market-based projections in Weeks 7, 8 and 9 (16.5, 15.7 and 15.6); the call is rebuilt when his market posts.
What the market projects
Player markets imply 16.6 fantasy points for Jared Goff, with 100 percent of the markets a QB needs posted.
The market-based projection for Jared Goff is 269 passing yards, 1-2 passing touchdowns, 1 rushing yards and 0.1 rushing touchdowns (13, 14, 5 and 12 market sources).
No Week 10 player market is posted for Matthew Stafford yet. His market-based projections were 16.5, 15.7 and 15.6 points in Weeks 7, 8 and 9, an average of 15.9, which stands in until his Week 10 market posts.
That puts Jared Goff 0.7 points ahead of Matthew Stafford on these projections.
