A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Malik Washington is projected 0.2 points ahead of Xavier Worthy. 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
- Malik Washington: Sleeper's projection, last changed Tue, Oct 27, 11:10 PM ET
- Xavier Worthy: Sleeper's projection, last changed Tue, Oct 27, 11:10 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Tue, Oct 27, 11:17 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Tue, Oct 27, 11:17 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 | Washington | Worthy |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 9.2 | 9 |
| Half PPR | 7.4 | 7.3 |
| Standard | 5.6 | 5.6 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 0.2 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 standard scoring the call goes the other way: Xavier Worthy 5.6, Malik Washington 5.6.
