A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Colby Parkinson is projected 0.9 points ahead of Keaton Mitchell. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 54% 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
- Colby Parkinson: Sleeper's projection, last changed Tue, Oct 27, 11:10 PM ET
- Keaton Mitchell: Sleeper's projection, last changed Tue, Oct 27, 11:10 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Tue, Oct 27, 11:17 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Tue, Oct 27, 11:17 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 | Parkinson | Mitchell |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 6.7 | 5.8 |
| Half PPR | 5.3 | 5.2 |
| Standard | 4 | 4.6 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 0.9 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 standard scoring the call goes the other way: Keaton Mitchell 4.6, Colby Parkinson 4.
