Daniel Jones: Start or Sit?

The call

• Matchup leans favorable: WSH grades 25 of 32 vs QBs, but that's a 3-game sample at 0.25 confidence, so it shouldn't carry much weight on its own.
• Game environment is solid. A 24.5 implied team total and a near-even 1.5 spread point to a competitive game where Jones keeps throwing.
• The rank is the problem. A 15.2-point projection at QB20 puts him well below the 12 starting QBs in a standard league, so he's a streamer, not a set-and-forget starter.
• What tips it: start him if your alternative is a QB ranked in the high teens or worse, or if you're covering a bye. Sit him for any top-15 option. The ESPN 'hot starters' line is an unverified headline and doesn't move the needle.
