A toss-up

On Sleeper's projections, Ben Sinnott is projected 0.8 points ahead of LaJohntay Wester. 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 could change it before kickoff

  • A projection update of 0.8 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.
  • LaJohntay Wester plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Ben Sinnott's late news is known.
