Side by side

In 2025 they scored the same 7.3 PPR points a game.

Chig Okonkwo finished TE21 and Elic Ayomanor WR55, which are two different ladders.

Chig Okonkwo is a tight end and Elic Ayomanor a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Chig Okonkwo is off in Week 7 and Elic Ayomanor in Week 9, so either can cover the other's bye.

Chig Okonkwo is listed as questionable on the injury report.

What would change the answer

3.5 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.
