Side by side

In 2025 Jameson Williams scored 12.9 PPR points a game and Sam LaPorta 11.9, 1.1 a game between them.

Jameson Williams finished WR12 and Sam LaPorta TE27, which are two different ladders.

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

Byes and availability

Both are off in Week 6, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.

What would change the answer

0.1 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.
