A toss-up

On Sleeper's projections, Rashee Rice and Stefon Diggs 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.

  • Sleeper's projections read Sat, Oct 31, 5:28 PM ET.

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.
  • Rashee Rice plays first (Sun 4:25 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Stefon Diggs's late news is known.
