A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Josh Jacobs and Bhayshul Tuten are projected level. 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.

- Bhayshul Tuten is questionable. The projection assumes he plays; if he's ruled out, the next player up is the call.
- Bhayshul Tuten has scored 22.1 a game over his last three, above his 16.9 season average.
What the call rests on
- Josh Jacobs: Sleeper's projection, last changed Tue, Nov 3, 9:40 PM ET
- Bhayshul Tuten: Sleeper's projection, last changed Tue, Nov 3, 9:40 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Tue, Nov 3, 9:42 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Tue, Nov 3, 9:42 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 | Jacobs | Tuten |

| Half PPR | 12.4 | 12.9 |
| Standard | 10.8 | 11.8 |
What could change it before kickoff
- Bhayshul Tuten's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Josh Jacobs is the start.
- A projection update of 0 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.
- Bhayshul Tuten plays first (Thu 8:15 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Josh Jacobs'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%.
