A toss-up

On Sleeper's projections, Mark Andrews is projected 0.6 points ahead of Zach Charbonnet. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 53% 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.

  • Sleeper's projections read Fri, Oct 30, 10:33 PM ET.

What could change it before kickoff

  • Zach Charbonnet's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Mark Andrews is the start.
  • A projection update of 0.6 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: Zach Charbonnet 7.7, Mark Andrews 7.1.
  • In standard scoring the call goes the other way: Zach Charbonnet 7.1, Mark Andrews 5.4.
  • Mark Andrews plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Zach Charbonnet's late news is known.

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%.
