A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Tony Pollard is projected 0.2 points ahead of Ashton Jeanty. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 51% 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.

|---|---|---|
| PPR | 14.7 | 15.9 |
| Half PPR | 13.5 | 14 |
| Standard | 12.3 | 12.1 |
What could change it before kickoff

- In ppr scoring the call goes the other way: Ashton Jeanty 15.9, Tony Pollard 14.7.
- In half-PPR scoring the call goes the other way: Ashton Jeanty 14, Tony Pollard 13.5.
