A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Tyler Warren is projected 0.3 points ahead of Brenton Strange. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 51% 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.

- Tyler Warren is questionable. The projection assumes he plays; if he's ruled out, the next player up is the call.
What the call rests on
- Tyler Warren: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Oct 28, 4:40 AM ET
- Brenton Strange: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Oct 28, 4:40 AM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Wed, Oct 28, 4:45 AM ET.
- Injury statuses read Wed, Oct 28, 4:45 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 | Warren | Strange |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 10.8 | 10.5 |
| Half PPR | 8.3 | 8.5 |
| Standard | 5.8 | 6.5 |
What could change it before kickoff
- Tyler Warren's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Brenton Strange is the start.
- A projection update of 0.3 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: Brenton Strange 8.5, Tyler Warren 8.3.
- In standard scoring the call goes the other way: Brenton Strange 6.5, Tyler Warren 5.8.

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%.
