Side by side

Keenan Allen finished WR29 and Colston Loveland TE12, which are two different ladders.

Keenan Allen is a wide receiver and Colston Loveland a tight end, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Keenan Allen is off in Week 13 and Colston Loveland in Week 10, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

0.3 points a game is the entire case. The books restate it every week, and a line that moves moves the order with it.

The draft market is the half that is missing: when the consensus sample holds these two again it can order them differently from the price, and this page will follow the sample rather than the books when it does.
