Tyler Higbee finished TE40 and Chris Godwin Jr. WR78, which are two different ladders.

Byes and availability

Tyler Higbee is off in Week 11 and Chris Godwin Jr. in Week 10, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

0.6 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.
