A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Jalen Coker is projected 0.5 points ahead of DJ Moore. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 53% 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.

- Jalen Coker's game has already kicked off, so most platforms have locked him in or out for this week.
- DJ Moore is questionable. The projection assumes he plays; if he's ruled out, the next player up is the call.
What the call rests on
- Jalen Coker: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 9:20 AM ET
- DJ Moore: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 9:20 AM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Sat, Oct 31, 9:27 AM ET.
- Injury statuses read Sat, Oct 31, 9:27 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.
| Same projections, scored | Coker | Moore |

| Half PPR | 13.1 | 11.8 |
| Standard | 10.2 | 9.7 |
What could change it before kickoff
- DJ Moore's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Jalen Coker is the start.
- A projection update of 0.5 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.
- Jalen Coker plays first (Thu 8:15 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before DJ Moore'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%.
