A toss-up

On Sleeper's projections, Tyler Higbee is projected 0.9 points ahead of Blake Corum. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 54% 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 0.9 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: Blake Corum 7.1, Tyler Higbee 6.8.
  • In standard scoring the call goes the other way: Blake Corum 6.8, Tyler Higbee 5.1.
