Side by side

Darnell Washington finished TE39 and Tre Tucker WR38, which are two different ladders.

Darnell Washington is a tight end and Tre Tucker a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Darnell Washington is off in Week 9 and Tre Tucker in Week 13, so either can cover the other's bye.

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 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.
