Their 2025 seasons

He caught 10 of 22 targets for 130 yards and 1 touchdown, with 4 red zone targets.

Head to head

This season Ja'Kobi Lane holds the bigger snap share, 54 percent against 50 percent.

This season Ja'Kobi Lane holds the bigger target share, 15 percent against 11 percent.

Byes and availability

Ja'Kobi Lane is off in Week 13 and Treylon Burks in Week 7, so either can cover the other's bye.

Treylon Burks is listed as questionable on the injury report.

What would change the answer

1.8 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.
