A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Kendrick Bourne is projected 0.2 points ahead of Jakobi Meyers. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 51% 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.

- Jakobi Meyers is questionable. The projection assumes he plays; if he's ruled out, the next player up is the call.
What the call rests on
- Kendrick Bourne: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 7:20 AM ET
- Jakobi Meyers: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 7:20 AM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Sat, Oct 31, 7:27 AM ET.
- Injury statuses read Sat, Oct 31, 7:27 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 | Bourne | Meyers |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 9.3 | 9.1 |
| Half PPR | 7.5 | 7.5 |
| Standard | 5.6 | 6 |
What could change it before kickoff
- Jakobi Meyers's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Kendrick Bourne is the start.
- A projection update of 0.2 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.
- In half-PPR scoring the call goes the other way: Jakobi Meyers 7.5, Kendrick Bourne 7.5.
- In standard scoring the call goes the other way: Jakobi Meyers 6, Kendrick Bourne 5.6.

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%.
