A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, MarShawn Lloyd is projected 1.5 points ahead of Ted Hurst III. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 57% 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 | 6.2 | 4.4 |
| Standard | 5.6 | 3.6 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 1.5 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.
- MarShawn Lloyd plays first (Thu 8:15 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Ted Hurst III's late news is known.
