What the call rests on
- Cooper Kupp: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sun, Nov 1, 4:30 PM ET
- Marquise Brown: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sun, Nov 1, 4:30 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Sun, Nov 1, 4:35 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Sun, Nov 1, 4:35 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 | Kupp | Brown |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 8.6 | 6.8 |
| Half PPR | 7.2 | 5.5 |
| Standard | 5.7 | 4.2 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 1.5 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.
- Marquise Brown plays first (Sun 8:20 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Cooper Kupp's late news is known.
Open in Who should I start (your league, more players)
This week’s projections are Sleeper’s, scored with Standard 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%.
