A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Tucker Kraft is projected 1 point ahead of Braelon Allen. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 55% 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 | Kraft | Allen |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 10.8 | 9.8 |
| Half PPR | 8.6 | 9 |
| Standard | 6.5 | 8.1 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 1 point 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, Tucker Kraft 8.6.
- In standard scoring the call goes the other way: Braelon Allen 8.1, Tucker Kraft 6.5.
- Tucker Kraft plays first (Thu 8:15 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Braelon Allen's late news is known.
