A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Oronde Gadsden is projected 0.2 points ahead of Emmett Johnson. 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.

| Same projections, scored | Gadsden | Johnson |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 4.4 | 4.2 |
| Half PPR | 3.6 | 3.7 |
| Standard | 2.7 | 3.2 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 0.2 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 half-PPR scoring the call goes the other way: Emmett Johnson 3.7, Oronde Gadsden 3.6.
- In standard scoring the call goes the other way: Emmett Johnson 3.2, Oronde Gadsden 2.7.

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%.
