A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Brian Robinson Jr. is projected 0.8 points ahead of Brian Thomas Jr.. 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, Oct 28, 2:41 PM ET.

What could change it before kickoff
- Brian Robinson Jr.'s status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Brian Thomas Jr. is the start.
- 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.
