Their 2025 seasons

That came to 31.6 attempts a game at 7.6 yards an attempt.

He was on the field for 98 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Carnell Tate is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

Side by side

Brock Purdy 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

Brock Purdy is off in Week 8 and Carnell Tate in Week 9, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

7.1 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.
