A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Jakobi Meyers and Omar Cooper Jr. are projected level. 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
- Jakobi Meyers: Sleeper's projection, last changed Fri, Oct 30, 3:30 PM ET
- Omar Cooper Jr.: Sleeper's projection, last changed Fri, Oct 30, 3:30 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Fri, Oct 30, 3:33 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Fri, Oct 30, 3:33 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 | Meyers | Jr. |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 10.1 | 10.1 |
| Half PPR | 8.3 | 8.3 |
| Standard | 6.6 | 6.6 |
What could change it before kickoff
- Jakobi Meyers's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Omar Cooper Jr. is the start.
- A projection update of 0 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.
