Side by side

Brock Bowers finished TE11 and Jalen Coker WR69, which are two different ladders.

Brock Bowers is a tight end and Jalen Coker a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Brock Bowers is off in Week 13 and Jalen Coker in Week 5, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

2.1 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.
