Side by side

In 2025 Jared Goff scored 17.9 PPR points a game and Quinshon Judkins 11.3, 6.6 a game between them.

Jared Goff finished QB9 and Quinshon Judkins RB26, which are two different ladders.

Jared Goff is a quarterback 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

Jared Goff is off in Week 6 and Quinshon Judkins in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

8.0 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 the consensus sample holds these two again it can order them differently from the price, and this page will follow the sample rather than the market price when it does.
