What the call rests on
- Zonovan Knight: Sleeper's projection, last changed Fri, Oct 30, 6:20 AM ET
- Austin Ekeler: Sleeper's projection, last changed Fri, Oct 30, 6:20 AM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Fri, Oct 30, 6:27 AM ET.
- Injury statuses read Fri, Oct 30, 6:27 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 | Knight | Ekeler |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 7.5 | 5.7 |
| Half PPR | 6.6 | 5.2 |
| Standard | 5.7 | 4.8 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 1.8 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.
- Zonovan Knight 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%.
