A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Mitchell Evans is projected 1.5 points ahead of Theo Wease Jr.. In the 2025 season, a player projected that far ahead outscored the other 57% 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
- Mitchell Evans: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Oct 28, 12:20 AM ET
- Theo Wease Jr.: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Oct 28, 12:20 AM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Wed, Oct 28, 12:22 AM ET.
- Injury statuses read Wed, Oct 28, 12:22 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 | Evans | Jr. |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 1.8 | 0.3 |
| Half PPR | 1.4 | 0.2 |
| Standard | 1 | 0.2 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 1.5 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.
- Mitchell Evans plays first (Thu 8:15 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Theo Wease Jr.'s late news is known.
