A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Drew Lock and Devin Neal are projected level. 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.

No games this season
- Devin Neal's game has already kicked off, so most platforms have locked him in or out for this week.
- Drew Lock is questionable. The projection assumes he plays; if he's ruled out, the next player up is the call.
What the call rests on
- Drew Lock: Sleeper's projection
- Devin Neal: Sleeper's projection
- Sleeper's projections read Sun, Nov 1, 9:36 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Sun, Nov 1, 9:36 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.
What could change it before kickoff
- Drew Lock's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Devin Neal is the start.
- A projection update of 0 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.
- Devin Neal plays first (Sun 8:20 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Drew Lock's late news is known.
Open in Who should I start (your league, more players)
This week’s projections are Sleeper’s, scored with Standard 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%.
