A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Emmett Johnson is projected 1 point ahead of Jauan Jennings. 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.

- Jauan Jennings's game has already kicked off, so most platforms have locked him in or out for this week.
What the call rests on
- Emmett Johnson: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sun, Nov 1, 3:33 PM ET
- Jauan Jennings: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sun, Nov 1, 3:33 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Sun, Nov 1, 3:34 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Sun, Nov 1, 3:34 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.
| Same projections, scored | Johnson | Jennings |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 4.4 | 3.4 |
| Half PPR | 3.9 | 2.8 |
| Standard | 3.3 | 2.2 |
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.
- Jauan Jennings plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Emmett Johnson's late news is known.
