Side by side

In 2025 Dak Prescott scored 19.0 PPR points a game and Quinshon Judkins 11.3, 7.7 a game between them.

Dak Prescott finished QB6 and Quinshon Judkins RB26, which are two different ladders.

Dak Prescott is a quarterback and Quinshon Judkins a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Dak Prescott is off in Week 14 and Quinshon Judkins in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.

Quinshon Judkins is listed as out on the injury report.

What would change the answer

7.0 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.
