Side by side

Aaron Rodgers is a quarterback and Michael Pittman Jr. a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Both are off in Week 9, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.

Michael Pittman Jr. is listed as questionable on the injury report.

What would change the answer

7.3 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.
