Side by side

In 2025 Quentin Johnston scored 12.2 PPR points a game and Cade Otton 7.6, 4.6 a game between them.

Quentin Johnston finished WR34 and Cade Otton TE22, which are two different ladders.

Quentin Johnston is a wide receiver and Cade Otton a tight end, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Quentin Johnston is off in Week 7 and Cade Otton in Week 10, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

0.2 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 the consensus sample holds these two again it can order them differently from the projection, and this page will follow the sample rather than the market-based projection when it does.
