In 2025 Malik Willis scored 12.8 PPR points a game and Jordan Addison 9.7, 3.1 a game between them.

Malik Willis finished QB45 and Jordan Addison WR45, which are two different ladders.

Malik Willis is a quarterback and Jordan Addison 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 6, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.

What would change the answer

8.7 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.
