Side by side

Jared Goff finished QB9 and D'Andre Swift RB15, which are two different ladders.

Jared Goff is a quarterback and D'Andre Swift a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Jared Goff is off in Week 6 and D'Andre Swift in Week 10, so either can cover the other's bye.

D'Andre Swift is listed as questionable on the injury report.

What would change the answer

8.6 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 the consensus sample holds these two again it can order them differently from the price, and this page will follow the sample rather than the market price when it does.
