Side by side

In 2025 Joe Burrow scored 17.4 PPR points a game and Woody Marks 9.4, 8.0 a game between them.

Joe Burrow finished QB29 and Woody Marks RB29, which are two different ladders.

Joe Burrow is a quarterback and Woody Marks a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Joe Burrow is off in Week 6 and Woody Marks in Week 8, so either can cover the other's bye.

Woody Marks is listed as questionable on the injury report.

What would change the answer

9.1 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.
