A toss-up

On Sleeper's projections, Colbie Young is projected 1.5 points ahead of Justin Joly. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 57% 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

  • Colbie Young: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 4:20 AM ET
  • Justin Joly: 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.

What could change it before kickoff

  • A projection update of 1.5 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.
  • Colbie Young plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Justin Joly'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%.
