Their 2025 seasons

Carnell Tate is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

In 2025 Ollie Gordon II played 17 games and scored 54.1 PPR points, 3.2 a game, finishing RB68.

He carried 70 times for 199 yards and 3 touchdowns, and caught 7 of 9 targets for 32 more yards.

That came to 4.1 carries a game at 2.8 yards a carry and 0.4 catches a game.

He was on the field for 22 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Side by side

Carnell Tate is a wide receiver and Ollie Gordon II a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Carnell Tate is off in Week 9 and Ollie Gordon II in Week 6, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

1.0 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.
