A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Davis Allen is projected 0.8 points ahead of Tay Martin. 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
- Davis Allen: Sleeper's projection, last changed Thu, Oct 29, 1:40 AM ET
- Tay Martin: 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 | Allen | Martin |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 1.1 | 0.3 |
| Half PPR | 0.9 | 0.2 |
| Standard | 0.7 | 0.2 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 0.8 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.
- Tay Martin plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Davis Allen'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%.
