A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Tucker Kraft is projected 0.8 points ahead of Brenton Strange. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 54% 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.

What the call rests on
- Tucker Kraft: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 7:20 AM ET
- Brenton Strange: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 7:20 AM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Sat, Oct 31, 7:27 AM ET.
- Injury statuses read Sat, Oct 31, 7:27 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 | Kraft | Strange |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 10.9 | 10.1 |
| Half PPR | 8.7 | 8.2 |
| Standard | 6.5 | 6.3 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 0.8 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.
- Tucker Kraft plays first (Thu 8:15 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Brenton Strange's late news is known.
