A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Sam LaPorta is projected 0.1 points ahead of Travis Kelce. 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
- Sam LaPorta: Sleeper's projection, last changed Tue, Nov 3, 7:40 PM ET
- Travis Kelce: Sleeper's projection, last changed Tue, Nov 3, 7:40 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Tue, Nov 3, 7:41 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Tue, Nov 3, 7:41 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 | LaPorta | Kelce |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 13.4 | 13.1 |
| Half PPR | 10.9 | 10.8 |
| Standard | 8.3 | 8.6 |
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.
- In standard scoring the call goes the other way: Travis Kelce 8.6, Sam LaPorta 8.3.

This week’s projections are Sleeper’s, scored with Half PPR 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%.
