Side by side

In 2025 Quinshon Judkins scored 11.3 PPR points a game and Isaiah Likely 4.4, 6.9 a game between them.

Isaiah Likely finished TE45 and Quinshon Judkins RB26, which are two different ladders.

Isaiah Likely is a tight end and Quinshon Judkins a running back, 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 Quinshon Judkins in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

2.3 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.
