Side by side

In 2025 they scored the same 14.4 PPR points a game.

Ashton Jeanty finished RB11 and CeeDee Lamb WR22, which are two different ladders.

Ashton Jeanty is a running back and CeeDee Lamb a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Ashton Jeanty is off in Week 13 and CeeDee Lamb in Week 14, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

0.0 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.
