Side by side

Jacoby Brissett finished QB16 and AJ Barner TE14, which are two different ladders.

Jacoby Brissett is a quarterback and AJ Barner a tight end, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Jacoby Brissett is off in Week 14 and AJ Barner in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

8.7 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.
