A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Marquise Brown is projected 0.5 points ahead of Chris Rodriguez Jr.. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 52% 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
- Marquise Brown: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 5:20 PM ET
- Chris Rodriguez Jr.: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 5:20 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Sat, Oct 31, 5:28 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Sat, Oct 31, 5:28 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 | Brown | Jr. |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 6.7 | 6.2 |
| Half PPR | 5.4 | 6 |
| Standard | 4.2 | 5.8 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 0.5 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: Chris Rodriguez Jr. 6, Marquise Brown 5.4.
- In standard scoring the call goes the other way: Chris Rodriguez Jr. 5.8, Marquise Brown 4.2.
- Chris Rodriguez Jr. plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Marquise Brown'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%.
