Side by side

In 2025 Aaron Rodgers scored 14.6 PPR points a game and Xavier Hutchinson 5.8, 8.9 a game between them.

Aaron Rodgers finished QB18 and Xavier Hutchinson WR64, which are two different ladders.

Aaron Rodgers is a quarterback and Xavier Hutchinson 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 Xavier Hutchinson in Week 8, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

8.4 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.
