A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Khalil Shakir is projected 0.9 points ahead of Antonio Williams. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 54% 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
- Khalil Shakir: Sleeper's projection, last changed Fri, Oct 30, 10:30 PM ET
- Antonio Williams: Sleeper's projection, last changed Fri, Oct 30, 10:30 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Fri, Oct 30, 10:33 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Fri, Oct 30, 10:33 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 | Shakir | Williams |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 9.2 | 8.3 |
| Half PPR | 7.3 | 6.9 |
| Standard | 5.5 | 5.4 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 0.9 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.
- Khalil Shakir plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Antonio Williams'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%.
