Side by side

Jacoby Brissett is a quarterback and Denzel Boston a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Jacoby Brissett is off in Week 14 and Denzel Boston 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 books restate 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 books when it does.
