Side by side

In 2025 Dalton Schultz scored 10.5 PPR points a game and Treylon Burks 3.6, 6.8 a game between them.

Dalton Schultz finished TE10 and Treylon Burks WR138, which are two different ladders.

Dalton Schultz is a tight end and Treylon Burks a wide receiver, 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 and Treylon Burks in Week 7, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

1.9 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.
