Side by side

In 2025 George Kittle scored 14.7 PPR points a game and Jalen Coker 8.2, 6.5 a game between them.

George Kittle finished TE13 and Jalen Coker WR69, which are two different ladders.

George Kittle is a tight end and Jalen Coker a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

George Kittle is off in Week 8 and Jalen Coker in Week 5, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

1.0 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.
