A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Chris Godwin Jr. is projected 0.1 points ahead of Jakobi Meyers. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 50% 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.

- Jakobi Meyers is questionable. The projection assumes he plays; if he's ruled out, the next player up is the call.
What the call rests on
- Chris Godwin Jr.: Sleeper's projection, last changed Thu, Oct 29, 1:40 AM ET
- Jakobi Meyers: Sleeper's projection, last changed Thu, Oct 29, 1:40 AM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Thu, Oct 29, 1:46 AM ET.
- Injury statuses read Thu, Oct 29, 1:46 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 | Jr. | Meyers |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 10.2 | 10.1 |
| Half PPR | 8.2 | 8.4 |
| Standard | 6.2 | 6.7 |
What could change it before kickoff
- Jakobi Meyers's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Chris Godwin Jr. is the start.
- A projection update of 0.1 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: Jakobi Meyers 8.4, Chris Godwin Jr. 8.2.
- In standard scoring the call goes the other way: Jakobi Meyers 6.7, Chris Godwin Jr. 6.2.

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%.
