Side by side

AJ Barner is a tight end and Laquon Treadwell a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

AJ Barner is off in Week 11 and Laquon Treadwell in Week 13, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

Laquon Treadwell has no posted market, so one half of the evidence on this page exists for only one of them.
