The gap

  • Board size300 draftable players

Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Josh Cuevas, and the board ranks him 94th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Our board does not carry Brevyn Spann-Ford at all right now: live drafts have stopped taking him and there is no player market on him this week, so he has no rank, no tier and no ADP here.

The market-based projections

Josh Cuevas's market-based projection is 2.7 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 10 market sources. That is the 73rd highest figure of the 183 players with a market-based projection.

No season market is posted for Brevyn Spann-Ford, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.

This season through Week 8

Through Week 8, Josh Cuevas has been on the field for 22 percent of BAL snaps, drawn 6 percent of the targets and had 2 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 1 of the offence's 66 third down targets, had 1 of its 26 chances inside the five and seen 1 of its 47 two minute targets.

His 13 targets have averaged 5.5 air yards.

In Week 6 against CLE he caught 4 of 5 targets for 44 yards and scored 1 touchdown.

In Week 7 against CIN he caught 2 of 3 targets for 35 yards and did not score.

Through Week 8, Brevyn Spann-Ford has been on the field for 39 percent of DAL snaps, drawn 6 percent of the targets and had 2 percent of the red zone chances.

In Week 8 against ARI he caught 4 of 5 targets for 31 yards and did not score.

Their 2025 seasons

Josh Cuevas is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

In 2025 Brevyn Spann-Ford played 17 games and scored 24.0 PPR points, 1.4 a game, finishing TE73.

He caught 9 of 13 targets for 90 yards and 1 touchdown, with 2 red zone targets.

That came to 0.8 targets a game, a 69 percent catch rate and 10.0 yards a catch.

He was on the field for 25 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Head to head

This season Brevyn Spann-Ford holds the bigger snap share, 39 percent against 22 percent.

Their target share this season is the same, 6 percent each.

What would change the answer

Brevyn Spann-Ford has no posted market, so one half of the evidence on this page exists for only one of them.
