Their 2025 seasons

Head to head

This season Jacoby Brissett holds the bigger snap share, 94 percent against 17 percent.

Their target share this season is the same, 0 percent each.

Byes and availability

Both are off in Week 13, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.

What would change the answer

5.2 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.
