Side by side

Alvin Kamara finished RB46 and Jordan Addison WR45, which are two different ladders.

Alvin Kamara is a running back and Jordan Addison a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Alvin Kamara is off in Week 8 and Jordan Addison in Week 6, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

1.0 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.
