Should I Start Case Keenum or Justin Herbert in Week 4?

Case Keenum is projected for 13.5 points, 28th among quarterbacks this week. Most weeks he lands between 3.1 and 20.5. This week he plays vs NYJ; the game total is 43.0 and his team is favored by 3.3. No book has posted a line on him yet, so this is our own projection from his role and Sleeper’s numbers. How it adds up: 185.4 passing yards (+7.4), 1.4 passing touchdowns (+5.4), 9.9 rushing yards (+1.0), 0.3 interceptions (−0.6), 0.1 touchdowns (+0.4). Last week (Week 3) he was projected for 9.8 points and did not play.

Justin Herbert is projected for 14.0 points, 26th among quarterbacks this week. Most weeks he lands between 5.4 and 23.2. This week he plays at SEA; the game total is 42.5 and his team is a 7.0-point underdog. The number is built from live market data across 17 books, in half-PPR scoring, and the lines have moved since they opened. How it adds up: 199.5 passing yards (+8.0), 1.1 passing touchdowns (+4.5), 21.0 rushing yards (+2.1), 0.8 interceptions (−1.5), 0.2 touchdowns (+0.9). Last week (Week 3) he was projected for 15.1 points and scored 12.7.

Justin Herbert is the slight lean. He projects for 14.0 points this week against 13.5 for Case Keenum. His chance of outscoring Case Keenum is 61%. Their ranges overlap — Justin Herbert usually lands between 5.4 and 23.2, Case Keenum between 3.1 and 20.5 — so either can win the week.
