A toss-up

On Sleeper's projections, Chig Okonkwo is projected 1.2 points ahead of MarShawn Lloyd. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 56% 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 1.2 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 standard scoring the call goes the other way: MarShawn Lloyd 5.5, Chig Okonkwo 4.6.
  • MarShawn Lloyd plays first (Thu 8:15 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Chig Okonkwo's late news is known.
