A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Darius Cooper is projected 0.7 points ahead of Chimere Dike. 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.

| Half PPR | 2.2 | 1.6 |
| Standard | 1.8 | 1.2 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 0.7 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.
- Chimere Dike plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Darius Cooper's late news is known.
