A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Zavion Thomas is projected 1.3 points ahead of Isaiah Bond. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 56% 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.

- Isaiah Bond's game has already kicked off, so most platforms have locked him in or out for this week.
What the call rests on
- Zavion Thomas: Sleeper's projection, last changed Mon, Nov 2, 12:30 AM ET
- Isaiah Bond: Sleeper's projection, last changed Mon, Nov 2, 12:30 AM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Mon, Nov 2, 12:38 AM ET.
- Injury statuses read Mon, Nov 2, 12:38 AM 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 | Thomas | Bond |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 2.8 | 1.2 |
| Half PPR | 2.3 | 1 |
| Standard | 1.8 | 0.8 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 1.3 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.
- Isaiah Bond plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Zavion Thomas's late news is known.
