Side by side

Kyler Murray is a quarterback and Dohnte Meyers a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Kyler Murray is off in Week 6. No bye is listed for Dohnte Meyers.

Kyler Murray is listed as questionable on the injury report.

What would change the answer

12.1 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.
