Side by side

In 2025 Amon-Ra St. Brown scored 19.1 PPR points a game and Derrick Henry 16.4, 2.6 a game between them.

Amon-Ra St. Brown finished WR3 and Derrick Henry RB8, which are two different ladders.

Amon-Ra St. Brown is a wide receiver and Derrick Henry a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Amon-Ra St. Brown is off in Week 6 and Derrick Henry in Week 13, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

1.3 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.
