A toss-up

On Sleeper's projections, Brenton Strange is projected 0.5 points ahead of Omarion Hampton. 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

  • A projection update of 0.5 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: Omarion Hampton 9.2, Brenton Strange 8.6.
  • In standard scoring the call goes the other way: Omarion Hampton 8.4, Brenton Strange 6.6.
  • Brenton Strange plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Omarion Hampton's late news is known.
