Side by side

In 2025 Tucker Kraft scored 14.7 PPR points a game and Justice Hill 6.5, 8.1 a game between them.

Tucker Kraft finished TE24 and Justice Hill RB60, which are two different ladders.

Tucker Kraft is a tight end and Justice Hill a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Tucker Kraft is off in Week 11 and Justice Hill in Week 13, so either can cover the other's bye.

Justice Hill is listed as questionable on the injury report.

What would change the answer

4.4 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.
