A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, KeAndre Lambert-Smith is projected 1.5 points ahead of Deion Burks. 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.

| Half PPR | 1.8 | 0.5 |
| Standard | 1.4 | 0.4 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 1.5 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.
- Deion Burks plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before KeAndre Lambert-Smith's late news is known.

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%.
