A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Braelon Allen is projected 0.7 points ahead of Zach Charbonnet. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 53% 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.
