Their 2025 seasons

Ted Hurst III is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

Side by side

Aaron Rodgers is a quarterback and Ted Hurst III 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 Ted Hurst III in Week 10, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

7.1 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.
