Dyami Brown · Jake Briningstool

Week 8 · Standard · 56% held up in 2025

A toss-up

On Sleeper's projections, Dyami Brown is projected 1 point ahead of Jake Briningstool. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 56% 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

  • Dyami Brown: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sun, Nov 1, 6:30 PM ET
  • Jake Briningstool: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sun, Nov 1, 6:30 PM ET
  • Sleeper's projections read Sun, Nov 1, 6:36 PM ET.
  • Injury statuses read Sun, Nov 1, 6:36 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

  • A projection update of 1 point 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.
  • Jake Briningstool plays first (Sun 4:25 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Dyami Brown's late news is known.
