What the call rests on
- AJ Barner: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 7:20 AM ET
- Emanuel Wilson: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 7:20 AM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Sat, Oct 31, 7:27 AM ET.
- Injury statuses read Sat, Oct 31, 7:27 AM 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 | Barner | Wilson |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 8.4 | 6.7 |
| Half PPR | 6.9 | 6.1 |
| Standard | 5.3 | 5.6 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 1.7 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: Emanuel Wilson 5.6, AJ Barner 5.3.
Open in Who should I start (your league, more players)
This week’s projections are Sleeper’s, scored with 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%.
