A toss-up

On Sleeper's projections, Joshua Dobbs and Shedeur Sanders 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

  • Joshua Dobbs: Sleeper's projection
  • Shedeur Sanders: Sleeper's projection
  • Sleeper's projections read Wed, Nov 4, 1:42 AM ET.
  • Injury statuses read Wed, Nov 4, 1:42 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.

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.

Open in Who should I start (your league, more players)
