| Same projections, scored | Henry | Strange |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 15.8 | 10.5 |
| Half PPR | 15.2 | 8.5 |
| Standard | 14.5 | 6.5 |
What could change it before kickoff
Nothing pending on either: both are expected to play, and the gap is wide enough that a typical projection update doesn't close it.

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%.
