Side by side

In 2025 Mike Gesicki scored 5.4 PPR points a game and George Holani 1.9, 3.5 a game between them.

Mike Gesicki finished TE41 and George Holani RB93, which are two different ladders.

Mike Gesicki is a tight end and George Holani a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Mike Gesicki is off in Week 6 and George Holani in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

1.3 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.
