A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Khalil Shakir is projected 1.2 points ahead of Kyle Pitts Sr.. 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 Thu, Oct 29, 6:09 AM ET.

| Same projections, scored | Shakir | Sr. |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 9.3 | 8.1 |
| Half PPR | 7.4 | 6.7 |
| Standard | 5.5 | 5.3 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 1.2 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.
