A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Greg Dulcich is projected 1.4 points ahead of Rashod Bateman. 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 the call rests on
- Greg Dulcich: Sleeper's projection, last changed Fri, Oct 30, 10:30 PM ET
- Rashod Bateman: Sleeper's projection, last changed Fri, Oct 30, 10:30 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Fri, Oct 30, 10:33 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Fri, Oct 30, 10:33 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 | Dulcich | Bateman |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 7 | 5.6 |
| Half PPR | 5.4 | 4.6 |
| Standard | 3.8 | 3.7 |
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.
- Rashod Bateman plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Greg Dulcich's late news is known.
