Side by side

Nico Collins finished WR8 and Cam Skattebo RB37, which are two different ladders.

Nico Collins is a wide receiver and Cam Skattebo a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Both are off in Week 8, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.

What would change the answer

2.4 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.
