A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, A.J. Brown and DJ Moore are projected level. 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
- A.J. Brown: Sleeper's projection, last changed Thu, Oct 29, 4:50 AM ET
- DJ Moore: Sleeper's projection, last changed Thu, Oct 29, 4:50 AM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Thu, Oct 29, 5:00 AM ET.

| Same projections, scored | Brown | Moore |

| Half PPR | 12.4 | 12.4 |
| Standard | 10 | 10.2 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A.J. Brown's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, DJ Moore is the start.
- DJ Moore's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, A.J. Brown is the start.
- A projection update of 0 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.
- DJ Moore plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before A.J. Brown's late news is known.
