Side by side

Savion Williams finished WR144 and Pat Freiermuth TE25, which are two different ladders.

Byes and availability

Pat Freiermuth is off in Week 9. No bye is listed for Savion Williams.

What would change the answer

0.2 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.
