Side by side

In 2025 Tucker Kraft scored 14.7 PPR points a game and Dylan Sampson 5.8, 8.8 a game between them.

Tucker Kraft finished TE24 and Dylan Sampson RB55, which are two different ladders.

Tucker Kraft is a tight end and Dylan Sampson a running back, 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

1.6 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.
