In 2025 Bryce Young scored 14.3 PPR points a game and Jordan Addison 9.7, 4.7 a game between them.

Bryce Young finished QB19 and Jordan Addison WR45, which are two different ladders.

Byes and availability

Bryce Young is off in Week 5 and Jordan Addison in Week 6, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

7.8 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.
