Side by side

Bo Nix is a quarterback and Carnell Tate a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Bo Nix is off in Week 10 and Carnell Tate in Week 9, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

7.4 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.
