Side by side

In 2025 Christian Watson scored 13.2 PPR points a game and Rhamondre Stevenson 12.8, 0.5 a game between them.

Rhamondre Stevenson finished RB25 and Christian Watson WR46, which are two different ladders.

Rhamondre Stevenson is a running back and Christian Watson a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Both are off in Week 11, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.

Christian Watson is listed as questionable on the injury report.

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.
