Side by side

Tez Johnson 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

Pierre Strong Jr. is off in Week 11. No bye is listed for Tez Johnson.

What would change the answer

2.1 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.
