A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, DeMario Douglas is projected 1.3 points ahead of Kimani Vidal. 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.

- Sleeper's projections read Wed, Oct 28, 3:40 AM ET.

| Same projections, scored | Douglas | Vidal |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 8.2 | 6.9 |
| Half PPR | 6.7 | 6.1 |
| Standard | 5.2 | 5.4 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 1.3 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: Kimani Vidal 5.4, DeMario Douglas 5.2.
