A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Lil'Jordan Humphrey is projected 0.9 points ahead of Jeremy Ruckert. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 55% 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
- Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Nov 4, 1:40 AM ET

- Sleeper's projections read Wed, Nov 4, 1:42 AM ET.

| Same projections, scored | Humphrey | Ruckert |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 2.6 | 1.5 |
| Half PPR | 2.1 | 1.2 |
| Standard | 1.6 | 0.8 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 0.9 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.
