A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Mike Washington Jr. is projected 0.5 points ahead of Ted Hurst III. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 52% 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.
