Their 2025 seasons

In 2025 D'Andre Swift played 16 games and scored 228.6 PPR points, 14.3 a game, finishing RB15.

He carried 223 times for 1087 yards and 9 touchdowns, and caught 34 of 48 targets for 299 more yards.

That came to 13.9 carries a game at 4.9 yards a carry and 2.1 catches a game.

He was on the field for 58 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

In 2025 Chris Olave played 16 games and scored 269.0 PPR points, 16.8 a game, finishing WR6.

He caught 100 of 156 targets for 1163 yards and 9 touchdowns, with 13 red zone targets.

That came to 9.8 targets a game, a 64 percent catch rate and 11.6 yards a catch.

He was on the field for 84 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Both were available for 16 games that season.

Side by side

In 2025 Chris Olave scored 16.8 PPR points a game and D'Andre Swift 14.3, 2.5 a game between them.

D'Andre Swift finished RB15 and Chris Olave WR6, which are two different ladders.

D'Andre Swift is a running back and Chris Olave a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

D'Andre Swift is off in Week 10 and Chris Olave in Week 8, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

0.0 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.
