Side by side

In 2025 T.J. Hockenson scored 7.5 PPR points a game and Jahan Dotson 3.0, 4.6 a game between them.

T.J. Hockenson finished TE26 and Jahan Dotson WR109, which are two different ladders.

T.J. Hockenson is a tight end and Jahan Dotson a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

T.J. Hockenson is off in Week 6 and Jahan Dotson 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.
