Side by side

Dalton Schultz finished TE10 and Tyrone Tracy Jr. RB28, which are two different ladders.

Dalton Schultz is a tight end and Tyrone Tracy Jr. a running back, 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.

Dalton Schultz is listed as questionable on the injury report.

What would change the answer

2.3 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.
