Should I start AJ Barner or Tyler Huntley in Week 6?

Both players' season market-based projection, their usage this season and their last full season's numbers, with the draft market's own figures wherever it still has them.

Updated Oct 16, 8:31 PM ET.

Neither is in the consensus draft sample any more, and the market has not posted a whole projection for AJ Barner, so there is no current market order to give between these two. What follows is what each of them has already done.

The gap

Consensus average draft position has stopped updating on these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out rather than printed stale. The verdict line above restates the market price and nothing else.

Where the draft room stands

Drafters have formed no consensus on Tyler Huntley: he carries no ADP, and the board ranks him 129th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Side by side

In 2025 AJ Barner scored 8.7 PPR points a game and Tyler Huntley 8.0, 0.6 a game between them.

AJ Barner finished TE14 and Tyler Huntley QB47, which are two different ladders.

AJ Barner is a tight end and Tyler Huntley a quarterback, 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 Tyler Huntley in Week 13, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

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