A toss-up

On Sleeper's projections, Jeremy Ruckert is projected 0.3 points ahead of Ashton Dulin. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 51% 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 could change it before kickoff

  • A projection update of 0.3 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.
