Side by side

In 2025 Dak Prescott scored 19.0 PPR points a game and Aaron Jones Sr. 9.9, 9.2 a game between them.

Dak Prescott finished QB6 and Aaron Jones Sr. RB41, which are two different ladders.

Dak Prescott is a quarterback and Aaron Jones Sr. a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Dak Prescott is off in Week 14 and Aaron Jones Sr. in Week 6, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

10.6 points a game is the entire case. The market restates it every week, and a line that moves moves the order with it.

The draft market is the half that is missing: when live drafts hold these two again they can order them differently from the projection, and this page will follow the drafts rather than the market-based projection when they do.
