A toss-up

On Sleeper's projections, Bo Nix and Malik Willis 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.

What the call rests on

  • Bo Nix: Sleeper's projection, last changed Tue, Oct 27, 4:10 PM ET
  • Malik Willis: Sleeper's projection, last changed Tue, Oct 27, 4:10 PM ET
  • Sleeper's projections read Tue, Oct 27, 4:24 PM ET.
  • Injury statuses: Sleeper's player list, read Tue, Oct 27, 9:01 AM ET (once a day). Game-day inactives, about 90 minutes before kickoff, come after it.

What could change it before kickoff

  • 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.
