A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Mike Gesicki is projected 1.4 points ahead of Antonio Williams. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 57% 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.

| Same projections, scored | Gesicki | Williams |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 8.6 | 7.2 |
| Half PPR | 7.2 | 5.9 |
| Standard | 5.7 | 4.6 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 1.4 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.
- Mike Gesicki plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Antonio Williams's late news is known.

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%.
