A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Ty Johnson is projected 0.1 points ahead of Corey Kiner. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 50% 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 | 5.3 | 5.2 |
| Half PPR | 4.6 | 4.7 |
| Standard | 3.8 | 4.3 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 0.1 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: Corey Kiner 4.7, Ty Johnson 4.6.
- In standard scoring the call goes the other way: Corey Kiner 4.3, Ty Johnson 3.8.
- Ty Johnson plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Corey Kiner's late news is known.
Open in Who should I start (your league, more players)
This week’s projections are Sleeper’s, scored with PPR settings. The percentage is how often a projected gap like this held up across the 2025 season; checked against 2026 games (not used to fit it), the stated chances so far run a few points high, so read a 60% call as nearer 55%.
