What the call rests on
- Zay Flowers: Sleeper's projection, last changed Fri, Oct 30, 2:20 PM ET
- Chuba Hubbard: Sleeper's projection, last changed Fri, Oct 30, 2:20 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Fri, Oct 30, 2:30 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Fri, Oct 30, 2:30 PM 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 | Flowers | Hubbard |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 18.7 | 16.7 |
| Half PPR | 15.8 | 15.1 |
| Standard | 12.9 | 13.5 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 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 standard scoring the call goes the other way: Chuba Hubbard 13.5, Zay Flowers 12.9.
- Chuba Hubbard plays first (Thu 8:15 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Zay Flowers'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%.
