A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Woody Marks is projected 0.8 points ahead of Braelon Allen. 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.

- Sleeper's projections read Wed, Nov 4, 3:54 PM ET.

| Same projections, scored | Marks | Allen |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 11.3 | 10.5 |
| Half PPR | 10.5 | 9.4 |
| Standard | 9.7 | 8.2 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 0.8 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.
- Braelon Allen plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Woody Marks's late news is known.
