Side by side
In 2025 Jordan Love scored 16.1 PPR points a game and Kendrick Bourne 5.8, 10.3 a game between them.
Jordan Love finished QB15 and Kendrick Bourne WR68, which are two different ladders.
Jordan Love is a quarterback and Kendrick Bourne a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.
Byes and availability
Jordan Love is off in Week 11 and Kendrick Bourne in Week 14, so either can cover the other's bye.
What would change the answer
8.3 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.
