What the call rests on
- AJ Barner: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sun, Nov 1, 7:30 PM ET
- Savion Williams: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sun, Nov 1, 7:30 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Sun, Nov 1, 7:36 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Sun, Nov 1, 7:36 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 | Barner | Williams |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 8.4 | 5.6 |
| Half PPR | 6.8 | 4.4 |
| Standard | 5.2 | 3.3 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 2.4 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.
- Savion Williams plays first (Thu 8:15 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before AJ Barner's late news is known.
