Side by side

In 2025 Geno Smith scored 12.7 PPR points a game and Jordan Addison 9.7, 3.1 a game between them.

Geno Smith finished QB23 and Jordan Addison WR45, which are two different ladders.

Geno Smith is a quarterback and Jordan Addison a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Geno Smith is off in Week 13 and Jordan Addison in Week 6, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

6.2 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.
