Side by side

In 2025 Geno Smith scored 12.7 PPR points a game and TreVeyon Henderson 12.1, 0.6 a game between them.

Geno Smith finished QB23 and TreVeyon Henderson RB21, which are two different ladders.

Geno Smith is a quarterback and TreVeyon Henderson a running back, 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 TreVeyon Henderson in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

10.4 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.
