A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Colston Loveland is projected 0.2 points ahead of Jake Ferguson. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 51% 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 0.2 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 half-PPR scoring the call goes the other way: Jake Ferguson 8, Colston Loveland 7.7.
- In standard scoring the call goes the other way: Jake Ferguson 6.2, Colston Loveland 5.6.
- Jake Ferguson plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Colston Loveland's late news is known.
