Side by side

Kalif Raymond is a wide receiver and Pierre Strong Jr. a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Kalif Raymond is off in Week 10 and Pierre Strong Jr. in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

2.0 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.
