Side by side

In 2025 Darren Waller scored 9.9 PPR points a game and Tyler Huntley 8.0, 1.8 a game between them.

Tyler Huntley finished QB47 and Darren Waller TE33, which are two different ladders.

Tyler Huntley is a quarterback 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

Tyler Huntley is off in Week 13 and Darren Waller in Week 5, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

8.0 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 the consensus sample holds these two again it can order them differently from the projection, and this page will follow the sample rather than the market-based projection when it does.
