Side by side

In 2025 Josh Allen scored 22.0 PPR points a game and Woody Marks 9.4, 12.6 a game between them.

Josh Allen finished QB1 and Woody Marks RB29, which are two different ladders.

Josh Allen 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

Josh Allen is off in Week 7 and Woody Marks in Week 8, so either can cover the other's bye.

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