Emanuel Wilson · Kyle Pitts Sr.

Week 8 · PPR · 57% held up in 2025

A toss-up

On Sleeper's projections, Kyle Pitts Sr. is projected 1.4 points ahead of Emanuel Wilson. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 57% 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 could change it before kickoff

  • A projection update of 1.4 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 standard scoring the call goes the other way: Emanuel Wilson 5.6, Kyle Pitts Sr. 5.3.
  • Kyle Pitts Sr. plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Emanuel Wilson's late news is known.
