Aaron Rodgers finished QB18 and Noah Fant TE37, which are two different ladders.

Byes and availability

Aaron Rodgers is off in Week 9. No bye is listed for Noah Fant.

What would change the answer

11.7 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.
