The gap

Where the draft room stands

Their 2025 seasons

Ja'Kobi Lane is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

In 2025 Jerry Jeudy played 17 games and scored 120.7 PPR points, 7.1 a game, finishing WR52.

He caught 50 of 106 targets for 602 yards and 2 touchdowns, with 9 red zone targets.

That came to 6.2 targets a game, a 47 percent catch rate and 12.0 yards a catch.

He was on the field for 85 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Head to head

This season Jerry Jeudy holds the bigger snap share, 59 percent against 46 percent.

This season Ja'Kobi Lane holds the bigger target share, 15 percent against 11 percent.

Byes and availability

Ja'Kobi Lane is off in Week 13 and Jerry Jeudy in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

0.4 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.
