Carson Wentz plays BUF and Daniel Jones plays DAL in Week 9.
By fantasy points allowed to each position, Wentz faces the 11th-softest defense against QBs and Jones faces the 6th-softest defense against QBs, so Daniel Jones has the softer matchup.
Each projection already accounts for the opponent, so a soft matchup is a tiebreaker, not a reason to bench the higher projection.
These numbers are in PPR. Full PPR adds a point per catch, so it helps whichever player sees more targets.
Switch between PPR, Half PPR and Standard on the board above to rescore both players from the same sources.
Neither Carson Wentz nor Daniel Jones has an injury designation for Week 9.

Each figure is the average of the projection sources that carry the player this week: StatChasers, Sleeper, ESPN, numberFire, FFToday and the betting markets (sportsbook player props). Carson Wentz is projected by 6 of them and Daniel Jones by 6.
A source with no number for a player is left out of the average rather than counted as a zero.
