Side by side

Aaron Rodgers finished QB18 and Rashid Shaheed WR39, which are two different ladders.

Aaron Rodgers is a quarterback and Rashid Shaheed a wide receiver, 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 Rashid Shaheed in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

7.0 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.
