It is a coin flip. Josh Jacobs projects for 12.2 PPR points and Quinshon Judkins for 12.1, 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: 12.2 PPR points for Josh Jacobs and 12.1 for Quinshon Judkins.
The sources range from 11.8 to 12.6 for Jacobs and from 11.1 to 13.2 for Judkins. 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 11.1 for Quinshon Judkins.
Start the higher floor when you are favored and only need to avoid a dud.
Quinshon Judkins has the higher ceiling: the most optimistic projection source has Judkins at 13.2 PPR points, against 12.6 for Josh Jacobs.
Start the higher ceiling when you are the underdog and need points more than safety.
