- Colby Parkinson is questionable. The projection assumes he plays; if he's ruled out, the next player up is the call.
What the call rests on
- Colby Parkinson: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 10:20 AM ET
- Dohnte Meyers: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 10:20 AM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Sat, Oct 31, 10:27 AM ET.

| Standard | 4 | 2.7 |
What could change it before kickoff
- Colby Parkinson's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Dohnte Meyers is the start.
- 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.
- Dohnte Meyers plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Colby Parkinson'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%.
