A toss-up

On Sleeper's projections, Brock Bowers is projected 1.2 points ahead of Ashton Jeanty. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 56% 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.

What could change it before kickoff

  • A projection update of 1.2 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: Ashton Jeanty 14, Brock Bowers 13.9.
  • In standard scoring the call goes the other way: Ashton Jeanty 12.1, Brock Bowers 10.8.
