A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Chris Godwin Jr. is projected 0.4 points ahead of Braelon Allen. 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.

What could change it before kickoff
- Braelon Allen's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Chris Godwin Jr. is the start.
- 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: Braelon Allen 9, Chris Godwin Jr. 8.2.
- In standard scoring the call goes the other way: Braelon Allen 8.1, Chris Godwin Jr. 6.2.

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%.
