Daniel Jones or Tyler Shough: Who Should You Start?

The call

• Consensus has him QB20 at 15.2 projected points, which is below the starting line in a 12-team league where roughly a dozen QBs are rostered as starters.
• The 23-of-32 DvP composite looks inviting on paper but carries a 0-game sample and 0.00 confidence — there's no reliable matchup tailwind here.
• A 23.0 implied team total in a one-score game (3.5 spread) caps the ceiling; Jones needs volume and rushing production just to hit his projection.
• He's the locked-in QB1 with no injury designation, so the floor is real — but floor without ceiling is exactly the profile you stream past.

The call

• A 14.2-point projection and QB18 consensus rank put Shough outside the starting dozen in a 12-team PPR league; there's almost always a better streamer on waivers.
• The 20.8 implied team total is a modest offensive ceiling, and a 7-point deficit means garbage-time volume is the primary path to a usable score rather than efficient early-down production.
• The opponent DvP composite sits mid-pack at 17 of 32, but it's built on a 0-game sample with 0.00 confidence — there's no matchup edge here to override the projection.
• He's locked in as the starter with no injury designation, so this is purely a ceiling call: start him only in superflex or two-QB formats.
