A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Josh Jacobs is projected 0.3 points ahead of Rhamondre Stevenson. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 51% 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
- Josh Jacobs: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sun, Nov 1, 5:30 AM ET
- Rhamondre Stevenson: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sun, Nov 1, 5:30 AM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Sun, Nov 1, 5:31 AM ET.
- Injury statuses read Sun, Nov 1, 5:31 AM 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 | Jacobs | Stevenson |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 16 | 15.7 |
| Half PPR | 14.8 | 13.9 |
| Standard | 13.6 | 12.2 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 0.3 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.
- Josh Jacobs plays first (Thu 8:15 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Rhamondre Stevenson'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%.
