A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Olamide Zaccheaus is projected 1.5 points ahead of AJ Dillon. 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.

- Olamide Zaccheaus is questionable. The projection assumes he plays; if he's ruled out, the next player up is the call.
What the call rests on
- Olamide Zaccheaus: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Oct 28, 8:00 AM ET
- AJ Dillon: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Oct 28, 8:00 AM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Wed, Oct 28, 8:09 AM ET.
- Injury statuses read Wed, Oct 28, 8:09 AM 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.

| Standard | 1.5 | 0.6 |
What could change it before kickoff
- Olamide Zaccheaus's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, AJ Dillon is the start.
- 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.
- AJ Dillon plays first (Thu 8:15 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Olamide Zaccheaus's late news is known.

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%.
