Side by side

In 2025 Stefon Diggs scored 12.4 PPR points a game and Sam LaPorta 11.9, 0.5 a game between them.

Sam LaPorta finished TE27 and Stefon Diggs WR17, which are two different ladders.

Sam LaPorta is a tight end and Stefon Diggs a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Sam LaPorta is off in Week 6 and Stefon Diggs in Week 7, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

0.5 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.
