A toss-up

On Sleeper's projections, Jayden Daniels and Zay Flowers 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.

Sleeper's projections read Sat, Oct 31, 5:27 AM ET.

Half PPR	18.5	15.6
Standard	18.5	12.8

What could change it before kickoff

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.
Zay Flowers plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Jayden Daniels's late news is known.

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%.
