Side by side

Aaron Rodgers finished QB18 and Kayshon Boutte WR51, which are two different ladders.

Byes and availability

Aaron Rodgers is off in Week 9 and Kayshon Boutte in Week 8, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

8.5 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 the consensus sample holds these two again it can order them differently from the projection, and this page will follow the sample rather than the market-based projection when it does.
