Their 2025 seasons

Side by side

In 2025 Austin Ekeler scored 6.6 PPR points a game and Treylon Burks 3.6, 2.9 a game between them.

Treylon Burks finished WR138 and Austin Ekeler RB103, which are two different ladders.

Treylon Burks is a wide receiver and Austin Ekeler a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Both are off in Week 7, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.

Treylon Burks is listed as questionable on the injury report.

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.
