Side by side

In 2025 Tee Higgins scored 14.1 PPR points a game and Aaron Jones Sr. 9.9, 4.2 a game between them.

Tee Higgins finished WR15 and Aaron Jones Sr. RB41, which are two different ladders.

Tee Higgins is a wide receiver 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

Both are off in Week 6, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.

What would change the answer

0.4 points a game is the entire case. The books restate it every week, and a line that moves moves the order with it.

The draft market is the half that is missing: when the consensus sample holds these two again it can order them differently from the price, and this page will follow the sample rather than the books when it does.
