A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, DJ Moore is projected 0.7 points ahead of Bo Nix. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 53% 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.

- DJ Moore is questionable. The projection assumes he plays; if he's ruled out, the next player up is the call.
What the call rests on
- DJ Moore: Sleeper's projection, last changed Fri, Oct 30, 6:20 AM ET
- Bo Nix: Sleeper's projection, last changed Fri, Oct 30, 6:20 AM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Fri, Oct 30, 6:27 AM ET.
- Injury statuses read Fri, Oct 30, 6:27 AM 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 | Moore | Nix |

| Half PPR | 12.4 | 14 |
| Standard | 10.2 | 14 |
What could change it before kickoff
- DJ Moore's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Bo Nix is the start.
- A projection update of 0.7 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, DJ Moore 12.4.
- In standard scoring the call goes the other way: Bo Nix 14, DJ Moore 10.2.
- DJ Moore plays first (Sun 1:00 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%.
