A toss-up

On Sleeper's projections, Keenan Allen is projected 1.6 points ahead of Courtland Sutton. 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.

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.
  • Keenan Allen plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Courtland Sutton's late news is known.
