A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Jauan Jennings is projected 0.1 points ahead of Zavion Thomas. 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.

What the call rests on
- Jauan Jennings: Sleeper's projection, last changed Tue, Nov 3, 5:40 PM ET
- Zavion Thomas: Sleeper's projection, last changed Tue, Nov 3, 5:40 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Tue, Nov 3, 5:41 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Tue, Nov 3, 5:41 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 | Jennings | Thomas |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 3.3 | 3 |
| Half PPR | 2.7 | 2.5 |
| Standard | 2.1 | 2 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 0.1 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.
- Zavion Thomas plays first (Sun 8:20 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Jauan Jennings's late news is known.
