A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, MarShawn Lloyd is projected 1.3 points ahead of Chris Bell. 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
- MarShawn Lloyd: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 4:20 AM ET
- Chris Bell: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 4:20 AM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Sat, Oct 31, 4:27 AM ET.
- Injury statuses read Sat, Oct 31, 4:27 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 | Lloyd | Bell |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 6.6 | 5.3 |
| Half PPR | 6.1 | 4.4 |
| Standard | 5.5 | 3.4 |
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.
- MarShawn Lloyd plays first (Thu 8:15 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Chris Bell's late news is known.

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%.
