Aaron Rodgers finished QB18 and Brian Robinson Jr. RB63, which are two different ladders.

Aaron Rodgers is a quarterback and Brian Robinson Jr. a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Aaron Rodgers is off in Week 9 and Brian Robinson Jr. in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.

Brian Robinson Jr. is listed as questionable on the injury report.

What would change the answer

9.1 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.
