A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Ted Hurst III is projected 1.5 points ahead of Mason Taylor. 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.

What the call rests on
- Ted Hurst III: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Oct 28, 1:30 PM ET
- Mason Taylor: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Oct 28, 1:30 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Wed, Oct 28, 1:34 PM ET.

| Same projections, scored | III | Taylor |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 5.1 | 3.6 |
| Half PPR | 4.3 | 2.8 |
| Standard | 3.5 | 2 |
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.
