Side by side

In 2025 Bryce Young scored 14.3 PPR points a game and Harold Fannin Jr. 11.7, 2.7 a game between them.

Bryce Young finished QB19 and Harold Fannin Jr. TE6, which are two different ladders.

Bryce Young is a quarterback and Harold Fannin Jr. a tight end, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Bryce Young is off in Week 5 and Harold Fannin Jr. in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

8.3 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.
