Start George Pickens: 79 percent of the snaps and 25 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Jadarian Price's 36 percent of the snaps and 35 percent of the carries. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.
Should I drop Jadarian Price for George Pickens?

The gap
- Board size297 draftable players
Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.
Where the draft room stands
Live drafts hold no current pick on Jadarian Price, and the board ranks him 64th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on George Pickens, and the board ranks him 65th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
No season market is posted for Jadarian Price, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
The market-based projection for George Pickens is 4.2 PPR points a game off 1 market across 5 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Their 2025 seasons
Jadarian Price is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.
In 2025 George Pickens played 17 games and scored 291.9 PPR points, 17.2 a game, finishing WR5.
He caught 93 of 137 targets for 1429 yards and 9 touchdowns, with 21 red zone targets.
That came to 8.1 targets a game, a 68 percent catch rate and 15.4 yards a catch.
He was on the field for 83 percent of the snaps in the games he played.
Side by side
Jadarian Price is a running back and George Pickens a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.
Byes and availability
Jadarian Price is off in Week 11 and George Pickens in Week 14, so either can cover the other's bye.
