Side by side

Mike Gesicki finished TE41 and Savion Williams WR144, which are two different ladders.
Mike Gesicki is a tight end and Savion Williams a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.
What would change the answer
0.0 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.
