Dalton Kincaid finished TE20 and Elic Ayomanor WR55, which are two different ladders.

Byes and availability

Dalton Kincaid is off in Week 7 and Elic Ayomanor in Week 9, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

4.7 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.
