It is a coin flip. Germie Bernard projects for 12.3 PPR points and Josh Jacobs for 12.2, within 0.1 of each other.
Break the tie with the floor if you are favored this week, and with the ceiling if you need a big game to win.
They are projected almost level: 12.3 PPR points for Germie Bernard and 12.2 for Josh Jacobs.
The sources range from 11.6 to 13.4 for Bernard and from 11.8 to 12.6 for Jacobs. Either result is well inside both ranges.
Josh Jacobs is the safer start: even the most cautious projection source has Jacobs at 11.8 PPR points, against 11.6 for Germie Bernard.
Start the higher floor when you are favored and only need to avoid a dud.
Germie Bernard has the higher ceiling: the most optimistic projection source has Bernard at 13.4 PPR points, against 12.6 for Josh Jacobs.
Start the higher ceiling when you are the underdog and need points more than safety.
Germie Bernard plays NO and Josh Jacobs plays DET in Week 7.
By fantasy points allowed to each position, Bernard faces the 16th-softest defense against WRs and Jacobs faces the 8th-toughest defense against RBs, so Germie Bernard 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.
Over his recent games Germie Bernard has drawn 20% of his team's targets, and Josh Jacobs 35% of his team's carries.
These numbers are in PPR. Full PPR adds a point per catch, so it helps whichever player sees more targets, which here is Germie Bernard.

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). Germie Bernard is projected by 4 of them and Josh Jacobs by 4.
A source with no number for a player is left out of the average rather than counted as a zero.
