A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Drake London is projected 0.4 points ahead of James Cook III. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 52% 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.
