Side by side

C.J. Stroud finished QB21 and Hunter Henry TE9, which are two different ladders.

Byes and availability

C.J. Stroud is off in Week 8 and Hunter Henry in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

7.6 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 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.
