What the call rests on
- Michael Penix Jr.: Sleeper's projection, last changed Tue, Oct 27, 7:50 PM ET
- Chris Godwin Jr.: Sleeper's projection, last changed Tue, Oct 27, 7:50 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Tue, Oct 27, 7:55 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Tue, Oct 27, 9:01 AM ET from Sleeper’s player list (once a day). 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 | Jr. | Jr. |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 14.8 | 10.3 |
| Half PPR | 14.8 | 8.3 |
| Standard | 14.8 | 6.3 |
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.
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%.
