Side by side

MarShawn Lloyd is a running back and Isaac TeSlaa a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

MarShawn Lloyd is off in Week 11 and Isaac TeSlaa in Week 6, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

0.8 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.
