What could change it before kickoff

A projection update of 2.1 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.
In standard scoring the call goes the other way: D'Andre Swift 10.6, A.J. Brown 10.2.
A.J. Brown plays first (Sun 4:25 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before D'Andre Swift's late news is known.

Open in Who should I start (your league, more players)

This week’s projections are Sleeper’s, scored with PPR settings. The percentage is how often a projected gap like this held up across the 2025 season; checked against 2026 games (not used to fit it), the stated chances so far run a few points high, so read a 60% call as nearer 55%.
