A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Cyrus Allen is projected 1.3 points ahead of Carson Wentz. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 56% 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
- Cyrus Allen: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Oct 28, 5:10 PM ET
- Carson Wentz: Sleeper's projection
- Sleeper's projections read Wed, Oct 28, 5:19 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Wed, Oct 28, 5:19 PM 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 | Allen | Wentz |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 1.3 | 0 |
| Half PPR | 1.1 | 0 |
| Standard | 0.8 | 0 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 1.3 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.
- Carson Wentz plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Cyrus Allen'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%.
