A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Luke McCaffrey is projected 0.2 points ahead of Jahdae Walker. 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.

| Half PPR | 0.3 | 0.2 |
| Standard | 0.2 | 0.1 |
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.
- Luke McCaffrey plays first (Sun 8:20 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Jahdae Walker's late news is known.
