What the call rests on
- Darius Cooper: Sleeper's projection, last changed Tue, Oct 27, 7:50 PM ET
- Jonathan Ward: Sleeper's projection
- Sleeper's projections read Tue, Oct 27, 7:55 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Tue, Oct 27, 9:01 AM ET from Sleeper’s player list (once a day). 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 | Cooper | Ward |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 2.6 | 0 |
| Half PPR | 2.2 | 0 |
| Standard | 1.8 | 0 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 2.6 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.
- Jonathan Ward plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Darius Cooper'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%.
