Side by side
In 2025 Caleb Williams scored 19.1 PPR points a game and Justice Hill 6.5, 12.6 a game between them.
Caleb Williams finished QB5 and Justice Hill RB60, which are two different ladders.
Caleb Williams is a quarterback and Justice Hill a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.
Byes and availability
Caleb Williams is off in Week 10 and Justice Hill in Week 13, so either can cover the other's bye.
What would change the answer
12.5 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.
