A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, George Pickens is projected 1.4 points ahead of D'Andre Swift. 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.

| Same projections, scored | Pickens | Swift |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 14.5 | 13.1 |
| Half PPR | 12.2 | 11.8 |
| Standard | 9.9 | 10.6 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 1.4 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: D'Andre Swift 10.6, George Pickens 9.9.
- George Pickens plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before D'Andre Swift'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%.
