Quinshon Judkins · Rashee Rice

Week 8 · Standard · 51% held up in 2025

A toss-up

On Sleeper's projections, Rashee Rice is projected 0.1 points ahead of Quinshon Judkins. 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

  • Rashee Rice: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sun, Nov 1, 5:30 PM ET

  • Sleeper's projections read Sun, Nov 1, 5:35 PM ET.

What could change it before kickoff

  • A projection update of 0.1 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.
  • Quinshon Judkins plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Rashee Rice'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%.
