Their 2025 seasons

He caught 41 of 73 targets for 608 yards and 4 touchdowns, with 9 red zone targets.

He was on the field for 72 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Head to head

This season Caleb Douglas holds the bigger snap share, 82 percent against 21 percent.

This season Caleb Douglas holds the bigger target share, 19 percent against 14 percent.

Byes and availability

Caleb Douglas is off in Week 6 and Marvin Harrison Jr. in Week 8, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

1.6 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.
