What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 2.1 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 half-PPR scoring the call goes the other way: Bo Nix 14, Christian Watson 14.
- In standard scoring the call goes the other way: Bo Nix 14, Christian Watson 11.9.
- Christian Watson plays first (Thu 8:15 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Bo Nix's late news is known.
Open in Who should I start (your league, more players)
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%.
