A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Jonathan Taylor and Kyren Williams 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.

What the call rests on
- Jonathan Taylor: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Nov 4, 6:50 PM ET
- Kyren Williams: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Nov 4, 6:50 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Wed, Nov 4, 7:01 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Wed, Nov 4, 7:01 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 | Taylor | Williams |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 17.5 | 18.7 |
| Half PPR | 16.5 | 17.2 |
| Standard | 15.6 | 15.6 |
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.
