What the call rests on
- Tyler Allgeier: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Oct 28, 9:40 PM ET

- Sleeper's projections read Wed, Oct 28, 9:57 PM ET.

| Same projections, scored | Allgeier | Ekeler |

| Standard | 5.1 | 4.8 |
What could change it before kickoff
- Tyler Allgeier's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Austin Ekeler is the start.
- A projection update of 1.9 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.
- Tyler Allgeier plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Austin Ekeler's late news is known.
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%.
