Their 2025 seasons

In 2025 Hunter Henry played 17 games and scored 178.8 PPR points, 10.5 a game, finishing TE9.

He caught 60 of 87 targets for 768 yards and 7 touchdowns, with 22 red zone targets.

That came to 5.1 targets a game, a 69 percent catch rate and 12.8 yards a catch.

He was on the field for 81 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

In 2025 DeMario Douglas played 17 games and scored 95.8 PPR points, 5.6 a game, finishing WR65.

He caught 31 of 46 targets for 447 yards and 3 touchdowns, with 7 red zone targets.

That came to 2.7 targets a game, a 67 percent catch rate and 14.4 yards a catch.

He was on the field for 26 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Both were available for 17 games that season.

Side by side

In 2025 Hunter Henry scored 10.5 PPR points a game and DeMario Douglas 5.6, 4.9 a game between them.

Hunter Henry finished TE9 and DeMario Douglas WR65, which are two different ladders.

Hunter Henry is a tight end and DeMario Douglas a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Both are off in Week 11, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.

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.
