|---|---|---|
| PPR | 9.9 | 7.4 |
| Half PPR | 7.9 | 7.1 |
| Standard | 5.9 | 6.7 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 2.5 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 standard scoring the call goes the other way: Blake Corum 6.7, Josh Downs 5.9.
- Josh Downs plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Blake Corum's late news is known.

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%.
