It is a coin flip. Quentin Johnston projects for 6.9 PPR points and Treylon Burks for 6.9, within 0.0 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: 6.9 PPR points for Quentin Johnston and 6.9 for Treylon Burks.
The sources range from 5.3 to 8.8 for Johnston and from 5.3 to 9.0 for Burks. Either result is well inside both ranges.
They share the same floor, 5.3 PPR points.
Start the higher floor when you are favored and only need to avoid a dud.
Treylon Burks has the higher ceiling: the most optimistic projection source has Burks at 9.0 PPR points, against 8.8 for Quentin Johnston.
Start the higher ceiling when you are the underdog and need points more than safety.
Quentin Johnston plays LAR and Treylon Burks plays PHI in Week 8.
By fantasy points allowed to each position, Johnston faces the 5th-toughest defense against WRs and Burks faces the 2nd-softest defense against WRs, so Treylon Burks 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 Quentin Johnston has drawn 11% of his team's targets, and Treylon Burks 15% of his team's targets.
Treylon Burks has the bigger role, and volume is the steadiest thing a projection rests on.
These numbers are in PPR. Full PPR adds a point per catch, so it helps whichever player sees more targets, which here is Treylon Burks.
Switch between PPR, Half PPR and Standard on the board above to rescore both players from the same sources.
Neither Quentin Johnston nor Treylon Burks has an injury designation for Week 8.
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). Quentin Johnston is projected by 5 of them and Treylon Burks by 5.
A source with no number for a player is left out of the average rather than counted as a zero.
