Side by side

In 2025 Drake Maye scored 21.2 PPR points a game and Dallas Goedert 12.3, 8.8 a game between them.

Drake Maye finished QB2 and Dallas Goedert TE7, which are two different ladders.

Drake Maye is a quarterback and Dallas Goedert a tight end, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Drake Maye is off in Week 11 and Dallas Goedert in Week 10, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

8.4 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.
