A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, MarShawn Lloyd is projected 1.3 points ahead of Mike Washington Jr.. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 56% 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
- MarShawn Lloyd: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 9:20 PM ET
- Mike Washington Jr.: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 9:20 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Sat, Oct 31, 9:29 PM ET.

| Same projections, scored | Lloyd | Jr. |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 6.6 | 5.3 |
| Half PPR | 6.1 | 5 |
| Standard | 5.5 | 4.7 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 1.3 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.
- MarShawn Lloyd plays first (Thu 8:15 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Mike Washington Jr.'s late news is known.
