A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Amon-Ra St. Brown is projected 0.4 points ahead of Tee Higgins. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 52% of the time. That's close to a coin flip: on these projections neither is the better start, and an injury report or a projection update before kickoff can tip it.

- Sleeper's projections read Fri, Oct 30, 5:01 PM ET.

| Same projections, scored | Brown | Higgins |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 16.7 | 16.3 |
| Half PPR | 13.9 | 13.9 |
| Standard | 11.1 | 11.5 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 0.4 points or more in the other direction flips the call; Sleeper keeps adjusting its projections until kickoff, and this page reads them again at most an hour after it last did.
- In half-PPR scoring the call goes the other way: Tee Higgins 13.9, Amon-Ra St. Brown 13.9.
- In standard scoring the call goes the other way: Tee Higgins 11.5, Amon-Ra St. Brown 11.1.

This week’s projections are Sleeper’s, scored with PPR settings. The percentage is how often a projected gap like this held up across the 2025 season; checked against 2026 games (not used to fit it), the stated chances so far run a few points high, so read a 60% call as nearer 55%.
