A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Matthew Golden and Parker Washington 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
- Matthew Golden: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Nov 4, 12:30 AM ET
- Parker Washington: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Nov 4, 12:30 AM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Wed, Nov 4, 12:42 AM ET.
- Injury statuses read Wed, Nov 4, 12:42 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.
| Same projections, scored | Golden | Washington |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 15.2 | 14.2 |
| Half PPR | 12.6 | 12.1 |
| Standard | 10 | 10 |
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.
- Parker Washington plays first (Thu 8:15 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Matthew Golden's late news is known.
