A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Rachaad White is projected 1.5 points ahead of Pat Freiermuth. 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.

- Rachaad White: Sleeper's projection, last changed Tue, Oct 27, 11:10 PM ET
- Pat Freiermuth: Sleeper's projection, last changed Tue, Oct 27, 11:10 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Tue, Oct 27, 11:17 PM ET.

| Same projections, scored | White | Freiermuth |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 10.8 | 9.3 |
| Half PPR | 9.7 | 7.6 |
| Standard | 8.7 | 5.8 |
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.
- Pat Freiermuth plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Rachaad White's late news is known.
