A toss-up

On Sleeper's projections, Nate Boerkircher is projected 1 point ahead of Elijah Sarratt. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 55% 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.

Sleeper's projections read Sat, Oct 31, 4:27 AM ET.

Same projections, scored	Boerkircher	Sarratt
PPR	1.5	0.5
Half PPR	1.2	0.4
Standard	0.9	0.4

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.

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%.
