Side by side

In 2025 Romeo Doubs scored 10.3 PPR points a game and Darren Waller 9.9, 0.5 a game between them.

Romeo Doubs finished WR37 and Darren Waller TE33, which are two different ladders.

Romeo Doubs is a wide receiver and Darren Waller a tight end, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Romeo Doubs is off in Week 11 and Darren Waller in Week 5, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

1.0 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.
