A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Chig Okonkwo is projected 1.6 points ahead of Ja'Kobi Lane. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 57% 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.

|---|---|---|
| PPR | 7.3 | 5.7 |
| Half PPR | 5.8 | 4.7 |
| Standard | 4.3 | 3.7 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 1.6 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.
- Ja'Kobi Lane plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Chig Okonkwo's late news is known.
