Side by side

In 2025 Michael Wilson scored 13.0 PPR points a game and Alvin Kamara 9.2, 3.8 a game between them.

Michael Wilson finished WR10 and Alvin Kamara RB46, which are two different ladders.

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

Byes and availability

Michael Wilson is off in Week 14 and Alvin Kamara in Week 8, so either can cover the other's bye.

Alvin Kamara is listed as questionable on the injury report.

What would change the answer

3.8 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.
