What the call rests on
- Ashton Jeanty: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 1:20 PM ET
- Matthew Golden: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 1:20 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Sat, Oct 31, 1:28 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Sat, Oct 31, 1:28 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 | Jeanty | Golden |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 15.8 | 13.7 |
| Half PPR | 14 | 11.5 |
| Standard | 12.1 | 9.3 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 2.1 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.
- Matthew Golden plays first (Thu 8:15 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Ashton Jeanty's late news is known.
