A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Stefon Diggs is projected 0.5 points ahead of Luther Burden III. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 52% 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
- Stefon Diggs: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 4:20 AM ET
- Luther Burden III: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 4:20 AM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Sat, Oct 31, 4:27 AM ET.
- Injury statuses read Sat, Oct 31, 4:27 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 | Diggs | III |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 12.6 | 12.4 |
| Half PPR | 10.5 | 10 |
| Standard | 8.5 | 7.7 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 0.5 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.
- Stefon Diggs plays first (Sun 8:20 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Luther Burden III's late news is known.
