By fantasy points allowed to each position, Love faces the 10th-toughest defense against QBs and Sanders faces the 16th-toughest defense against QBs, so Shedeur Sanders 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 Jordan Love nor Shedeur Sanders has an injury designation for Week 9.
Designations change through the week, so check again before kickoff; this page updates with each refresh.
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). Jordan Love is projected by 6 of them and Shedeur Sanders by 6.
A source with no number for a player is left out of the average rather than counted as a zero.
