Side by side

In 2025 Tucker Kraft scored 14.7 PPR points a game and Alvin Kamara 9.2, 5.5 a game between them.

Tucker Kraft finished TE24 and Alvin Kamara RB46, which are two different ladders.

Tucker Kraft is a tight end and Alvin Kamara a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Tucker Kraft is off in Week 11 and Alvin Kamara in Week 8, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

4.2 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.
