Should I start Jake Ferguson or Tyson Bagent in Week 6?

Both players' season market-based projection, their usage this season and their last full season's numbers, with the draft market's own figures wherever it still has them.

Updated Oct 17, 3:41 AM ET.

Neither is in the consensus draft sample any more, and the market has not posted a whole projection for Tyson Bagent, so there is no current market order to give between these two. What follows is what each of them has already done.

Side by side

In 2025 Jake Ferguson scored 11.1 PPR points a game and Tyson Bagent 0.9, 10.2 a game between them.

Jake Ferguson finished TE5 and Tyson Bagent QB67, which are two different ladders.

Jake Ferguson is a tight end and Tyson Bagent a quarterback, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Jake Ferguson is off in Week 14 and Tyson Bagent in Week 10, so either can cover the other's bye.

Tyson Bagent has no posted market, so one half of the evidence on this page exists for only one of them.
