- Sleeper's projections read Sat, Oct 31, 9:27 AM ET.

| Half PPR | 10 | 7.6 |
| Standard | 7.7 | 5.5 |
What could change it before kickoff
- Colston Loveland's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Luther Burden III is the start.
- A projection update of 2.7 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.
