A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Kyler Murray and Drew Lock 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.

What the call rests on
- Kyler Murray: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Nov 4, 10:00 PM ET

- Sleeper's projections read Wed, Nov 4, 10:11 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Wed, Nov 4, 10:11 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
- Kyler Murray's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Drew Lock is the start.
- Drew Lock's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Kyler Murray 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.
- Drew Lock plays first (Sun 4:25 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Kyler Murray's late news is known.
