A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Aaron Jones Sr. is projected 0.7 points ahead of Samaje Perine. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 53% 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.

What the call rests on
- Aaron Jones Sr.: Sleeper's projection, last changed Fri, Oct 30, 8:20 PM ET
- Samaje Perine: Sleeper's projection, last changed Fri, Oct 30, 8:20 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Fri, Oct 30, 8:23 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Fri, Oct 30, 8:23 PM ET, with the projections (hourly). A fresh projection time doesn't mean every status is: game-day inactives, about 90 minutes before kickoff, can come after it.
| Same projections, scored | Sr. | Perine |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 9.8 | 9.1 |
| Half PPR | 8.7 | 8.3 |
| Standard | 7.6 | 7.4 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 0.7 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.
