A toss-up

On Sleeper's projections, A.J. Brown and Ollie Gordon II 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 could change it before kickoff

  • A.J. Brown's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Ollie Gordon II 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.
