Side by side

In 2025 Jared Goff scored 17.9 PPR points a game and Roschon Johnson 0.2, 17.7 a game between them.

Jared Goff finished QB9 and Roschon Johnson RB134, which are two different ladders.

Jared Goff is a quarterback and Roschon Johnson 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 Roschon Johnson in Week 10, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

10.6 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.
