A toss-up
On Sleeper's projections, Zonovan Knight and Samaje Perine 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.

What the call rests on
- Zonovan Knight: Sleeper's projection, last changed Fri, Oct 30, 3:30 PM ET
- Samaje Perine: Sleeper's projection, last changed Fri, Oct 30, 3:30 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Fri, Oct 30, 3:33 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Fri, Oct 30, 3:33 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 | Knight | Perine |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 7.5 | 7.5 |
| Half PPR | 6.7 | 6.7 |
| Standard | 5.8 | 5.9 |
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.
