A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Darren Waller is projected 0.3 points ahead of TreVeyon Henderson. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 51% 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
- Darren Waller: Sleeper's projection, last changed Fri, Oct 30, 2:30 AM ET
- TreVeyon Henderson: Sleeper's projection, last changed Fri, Oct 30, 2:30 AM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Fri, Oct 30, 2:36 AM ET.
- Injury statuses read Fri, Oct 30, 2:36 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 | Waller | Henderson |

| Half PPR | 6.2 | 6.7 |
| Standard | 4.8 | 6 |
What could change it before kickoff
- TreVeyon Henderson's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Darren Waller is the start.
- A projection update of 0.3 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.
- In half-PPR scoring the call goes the other way: TreVeyon Henderson 6.7, Darren Waller 6.2.
- In standard scoring the call goes the other way: TreVeyon Henderson 6, Darren Waller 4.8.
- Darren Waller plays first (Thu 8:15 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before TreVeyon Henderson'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%.
