Should I start Dalton Schultz or Tank Dell in Week 10?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Dalton Schultz, and the board ranks him 124th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Tank Dell, and the board ranks him 125th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Dalton Schultz is 2.1 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a tight end's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

The market-based projection for Tank Dell is 1.5 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Dalton Schultz's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

Their 2025 seasons

The season feed carries no line for Tank Dell in the last completed season.

Side by side

Dalton Schultz is a tight end and Tank Dell 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.
