Their 2025 seasons

Head to head

This season Deebo Samuel Sr. holds the bigger snap share, 57 percent against 24 percent.

This season Jordyn Tyson holds the bigger target share, 16 percent against 15 percent.

Byes and availability

Both are off in Week 8, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.

Deebo Samuel Sr. is listed as questionable on the injury report.

What would change the answer

0.3 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.
