Their 2025 seasons

Josh Cameron is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

He caught 65 of 104 targets for 709 yards and 6 touchdowns, with 18 red zone targets.

He was on the field for 60 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Head to head

This season Troy Franklin holds the bigger snap share, 44 percent against 37 percent.

This season Josh Cameron holds the bigger target share, 7 percent against 5 percent.

Byes and availability

Josh Cameron is off in Week 7 and Troy Franklin in Week 10, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

0.3 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.
