- Rashee Rice is questionable. The projection assumes he plays; if he's ruled out, the next player up is the call.
What the call rests on
- Rashee Rice: Sleeper's projection, last changed Thu, Oct 29, 12:30 AM ET
- Dallas Goedert: Sleeper's projection, last changed Thu, Oct 29, 12:30 AM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Thu, Oct 29, 12:39 AM ET.

| Same projections, scored | Rice | Goedert |

| Half PPR | 10.3 | 8.5 |
| Standard | 8.1 | 6.7 |
What could change it before kickoff
- Rashee Rice's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Dallas Goedert is the start.
- A projection update of 2.4 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.
- Rashee Rice plays first (Sun 4:25 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Dallas Goedert'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%.
