Their 2025 seasons

He threw for 4564 yards on 578 attempts with 34 touchdowns and 8 interceptions, and ran for 45 yards and 0 touchdowns.

That came to 34.0 attempts a game at 7.9 yards an attempt.

Side by side

In 2025 Jared Goff scored 17.9 PPR points a game and Samaje Perine 5.2, 12.8 a game between them.

Jared Goff finished QB9 and Samaje Perine RB57, which are two different ladders.

Jared Goff is a quarterback and Samaje Perine a running back, 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

11.3 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.
