Side by side
In 2025 Jameson Williams scored 12.9 PPR points a game and Travis Kelce 11.4, 1.6 a game between them.
Jameson Williams finished WR12 and Travis Kelce TE3, which are two different ladders.
Jameson Williams is a wide receiver and Travis Kelce a tight end, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.
Byes and availability
Jameson Williams is off in Week 6 and Travis Kelce in Week 5, so either can cover the other's bye.
What would change the answer
0.5 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.
