Side by side

In 2025 George Kittle scored 14.7 PPR points a game and Zach Charbonnet 11.3, 3.3 a game between them.

George Kittle finished TE13 and Zach Charbonnet RB24, which are two different ladders.

George Kittle is a tight end and Zach Charbonnet a running back, 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 Zach Charbonnet in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

3.6 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.
