Side by side

Dalton Schultz is a tight end and Pierre Strong a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Dalton Schultz is off in Week 8. No bye is listed for Pierre Strong.

What would change the answer

0.7 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 the consensus sample holds these two again it can order them differently from the projection, and this page will follow the sample rather than the market-based projection when it does.
