A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Pierre Strong Jr. is projected 0.7 points ahead of Shedeur Sanders. 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.

What the call rests on
- Pierre Strong Jr.: Sleeper's projection, last changed Tue, Nov 3, 8:30 PM ET
- Shedeur Sanders: Sleeper's projection
- Sleeper's projections read Tue, Nov 3, 8:41 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Tue, Nov 3, 8:41 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 | Jr. | Sanders |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 0.7 | 0 |
| Half PPR | 0.6 | 0 |
| Standard | 0.5 | 0 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 0.7 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.
- Shedeur Sanders plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Pierre Strong Jr.'s late news is known.
