Side by side

In 2025 Daniel Jones scored 18.0 PPR points a game and Juwan Johnson 10.6, 7.5 a game between them.

Daniel Jones finished QB17 and Juwan Johnson TE8, which are two different ladders.

Daniel Jones is a quarterback and Juwan Johnson a tight end, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Daniel Jones is off in Week 13 and Juwan Johnson in Week 8, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

7.4 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.
