Side by side

In 2025 Josh Allen scored 22.0 PPR points a game and Keenan Allen 10.7, 11.3 a game between them.

Josh Allen finished QB1 and Keenan Allen WR29, which are two different ladders.

Josh Allen is a quarterback and Keenan Allen a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Josh Allen is off in Week 7 and Keenan Allen in Week 13, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

12.9 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 the consensus sample holds these two again it can order them differently from the price, and this page will follow the sample rather than the market price when it does.
