Side by side

In 2025 Marvin Harrison Jr. scored 10.7 PPR points a game and Dalton Schultz 10.5, 0.2 a game between them.

Dalton Schultz finished TE10 and Marvin Harrison Jr. WR49, which are two different ladders.

Dalton Schultz is a tight end and Marvin Harrison Jr. a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Both are off in Week 8, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.

What would change the answer

2.0 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.
