Start Eli Raridon: 56 percent of the snaps and 13 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Savion Williams's 56 percent of the snaps and 7 percent of the targets. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

Should I drop Eli Raridon for Savion Williams?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Savion Williams projects 51 market-implied PPR points from Week 9 through Week 17 (6.4 a game over 8 games), Eli Raridon 35 (4.4 a game over 8 games).

The gap

  • Board size297 draftable players

Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Savion Williams, and the board ranks him 52nd overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Eli Raridon, and the board ranks him 112th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Savion Williams's market-based projection is 6.0 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 6 market sources. That is the 30th highest figure of the 175 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Eli Raridon is 2.3 PPR points a game off 1 market across 6 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a tight end's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Eli Raridon's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

Their 2025 seasons

He caught 10 of 10 targets for 78 yards and 1 touchdown, with 4 red zone targets.

That came to 0.8 targets a game, a 100 percent catch rate and 7.8 yards a catch.

He was on the field for 12 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Eli Raridon is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.
