A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Bhayshul Tuten is projected 1 point ahead of Josh Jacobs. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 55% 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.

- Bhayshul Tuten is questionable. The projection assumes he plays; if he's ruled out, the next player up is the call.
What the call rests on
- Bhayshul Tuten: Sleeper's projection, last changed Tue, Nov 3, 9:40 PM ET
- Josh Jacobs: 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 | Tuten | Jacobs |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 14 | 14 |
| Half PPR | 12.9 | 12.4 |
| Standard | 11.8 | 10.8 |
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 1 point 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: Josh Jacobs 14, Bhayshul Tuten 14.
- 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.
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%.
