Side by side

In 2025 Drake Maye scored 21.2 PPR points a game and Hunter Henry 10.5, 10.7 a game between them.

Drake Maye finished QB2 and Hunter Henry TE9, which are two different ladders.

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

Byes and availability

Both are off in Week 11, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.

What would change the answer

7.9 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.
