What could change it before kickoff
- Aaron Jones Sr.'s status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Braelon Allen is the start.
- 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.
