A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Jaylen Warren is projected 0.1 points ahead of Tony Pollard. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 50% 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
- Jaylen Warren: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 12:00 AM ET
- Tony Pollard: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 12:00 AM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Sat, Oct 31, 12:00 AM ET.

| Same projections, scored | Warren | Pollard |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 14.9 | 14.8 |
| Half PPR | 13.5 | 13.6 |
| Standard | 12 | 12.4 |
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.
- In half-PPR scoring the call goes the other way: Tony Pollard 13.6, Jaylen Warren 13.5.
- In standard scoring the call goes the other way: Tony Pollard 12.4, Jaylen Warren 12.
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%.
