A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Drake London is projected 0.8 points ahead of Josh Jacobs. 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
- Drake London: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Oct 28, 8:00 AM ET
- Josh Jacobs: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Oct 28, 8:00 AM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Wed, Oct 28, 8:09 AM ET.
- Injury statuses read Wed, Oct 28, 8:09 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 | London | Jacobs |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 16.8 | 16 |
| Half PPR | 14.1 | 14.8 |
| Standard | 11.3 | 13.6 |
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.
- In half-PPR scoring the call goes the other way: Josh Jacobs 14.8, Drake London 14.1.
- In standard scoring the call goes the other way: Josh Jacobs 13.6, Drake London 11.3.
- Josh Jacobs plays first (Thu 8:15 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Drake London'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%.
