What the sportsbooks price

The player markets price Geno Smith at 14.5 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 18 books. That is the 45th highest figure of the 183 players the books price.

The books have Blake Corum at 7.0 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 16 books. That is 70 percent of what a running back's price needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Blake Corum's price is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

Side by side

In 2025 Geno Smith scored 12.7 PPR points a game and Blake Corum 7.2, 5.5 a game between them.

Geno Smith finished QB23 and Blake Corum RB40, which are two different ladders.

Geno Smith is a quarterback and Blake Corum a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Geno Smith is off in Week 13 and Blake Corum in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

Blake Corum is only part priced, so the books' half of this page is whole for only one of them.
