A toss-up

On Sleeper's projections, Isaiah Bond is projected 1.2 points ahead of Shane Buechele. 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.

What the call rests on

Isaiah Bond: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sun, Nov 1, 4:30 PM ET
Shane Buechele: Sleeper's projection
Sleeper's projections read Sun, Nov 1, 4:35 PM ET.
Injury statuses read Sun, Nov 1, 4:35 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 1.2 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.

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%.
