Side by side

In 2025 Tre Tucker scored 9.5 PPR points a game and Tyler Higbee 7.1, 2.4 a game between them.

Tyler Higbee finished TE40 and Tre Tucker WR38, which are two different ladders.

Tyler Higbee is a tight end and Tre Tucker a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Tyler Higbee is off in Week 11 and Tre Tucker in Week 13, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

1.2 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.
