Side by side

In 2025 Michael Penix Jr. scored 13.7 PPR points a game and Jerry Jeudy 7.1, 6.6 a game between them.

Michael Penix Jr. finished QB33 and Jerry Jeudy WR52, which are two different ladders.

Michael Penix Jr. is a quarterback and Jerry Jeudy a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Both are off in Week 11, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.

What would change the answer

11.4 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.
