Darren Waller finished TE33 and Savion Williams WR144, which are two different ladders.

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

Byes and availability

Darren Waller is off in Week 5. No bye is listed for Savion Williams.

What would change the answer

0.4 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.
