A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Ollie Gordon II is projected 0.2 points ahead of Saquon Barkley. 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
- Ollie Gordon II: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 6:20 PM ET
- Saquon Barkley: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 6:20 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Sat, Oct 31, 6:28 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Sat, Oct 31, 6:28 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 | II | Barkley |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 13.2 | 13 |
| Half PPR | 12.3 | 12.1 |
| Standard | 11.5 | 11.3 |
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.
- Ollie Gordon II plays first (Sun 4:25 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Saquon Barkley's late news is known.
Open in Who should I start (your league, more players)
This week’s projections are Sleeper’s, scored with Standard 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%.
