Side by side

George Pickens finished WR5 and Rhamondre Stevenson RB25, which are two different ladders.

Byes and availability

George Pickens is off in Week 14 and Rhamondre Stevenson in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

1.2 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.
