A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, George Pickens is projected 0.3 points ahead of DJ Moore. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 51% 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.
