What the call rests on
- Bhayshul Tuten: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Nov 4, 2:30 AM ET
- George Kittle: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Nov 4, 2:30 AM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Wed, Nov 4, 2:43 AM ET.

| Same projections, scored | Tuten | Kittle |

| Half PPR | 12.9 | 12.7 |
| Standard | 11.8 | 10.2 |
What could change it before kickoff
- Bhayshul Tuten's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, George Kittle is the start.
- A projection update of 1.6 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.
- In ppr scoring the call goes the other way: George Kittle 15.2, Bhayshul Tuten 14.
- Bhayshul Tuten plays first (Thu 8:15 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before George Kittle's late news is known.
Open in Who should I start (your league, more players)
This week’s projections are Sleeper’s, scored with Standard 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%.
