Side by side

In 2025 Jameson Williams scored 12.9 PPR points a game and Isaiah Likely 4.4, 8.5 a game between them.

Isaiah Likely finished TE45 and Jameson Williams WR12, which are two different ladders.

Isaiah Likely is a tight end and Jameson Williams a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Isaiah Likely is off in Week 8 and Jameson Williams in Week 6, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

0.8 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.
