Side by side
In 2025 Bryce Young scored 14.3 PPR points a game and Jauan Jennings 11.6, 2.8 a game between them.
Bryce Young finished QB19 and Jauan Jennings WR33, which are two different ladders.
Bryce Young is a quarterback and Jauan Jennings a wide receiver, 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 Jauan Jennings in Week 6, so either can cover the other's bye.
What would change the answer
13.1 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.
