Side by side

In 2025 Bo Nix scored 18.6 PPR points a game and Chig Okonkwo 7.3, 11.3 a game between them.

Bo Nix finished QB7 and Chig Okonkwo TE21, which are two different ladders.

Bo Nix is a quarterback and Chig Okonkwo a tight end, 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 Chig Okonkwo in Week 7, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

8.1 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.
