A toss-up

On Sleeper's projections, Jarrett Stidham and Casey Washington 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

  • Jarrett Stidham: Sleeper's projection
  • Casey Washington: Sleeper's projection
  • Sleeper's projections read Tue, Oct 27, 1:09 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.
  • Casey Washington plays first (Thu 8:15 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Jarrett Stidham's late news is known.
