What the call rests on
- Bhayshul Tuten: Sleeper's projection, last changed Tue, Nov 3, 10:40 PM ET

- Sleeper's projections read Tue, Nov 3, 10:42 PM ET.

| Same projections, scored | Tuten | III |

What could change it before kickoff
- Bhayshul Tuten's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Luther Burden III is the start.
- A projection update of 2.2 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 ppr scoring the call goes the other way: Luther Burden III 14.7, Bhayshul Tuten 14.
- Bhayshul Tuten plays first (Thu 8:15 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Luther Burden III's late news is known.
