A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Zay Flowers is projected 1.3 points ahead of Jordan Love. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 56% 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
- Zay Flowers: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Oct 28, 2:30 AM ET
- Jordan Love: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Oct 28, 2:30 AM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Wed, Oct 28, 2:40 AM ET.

| Same projections, scored | Flowers | Love |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 18.4 | 17.1 |
| Half PPR | 15.6 | 17.1 |
| Standard | 12.7 | 17.1 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 1.3 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: Jordan Love 17.1, Zay Flowers 15.6.
- In standard scoring the call goes the other way: Jordan Love 17.1, Zay Flowers 12.7.
- Jordan Love plays first (Thu 8:15 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Zay Flowers'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%.
