What the call rests on

- Sleeper's projections read Thu, Oct 29, 1:46 AM ET.

| Same projections, scored | Washington | McGowan |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 6.2 | 4.4 |
| Half PPR | 4.9 | 3.9 |
| Standard | 3.7 | 3.4 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 1.8 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.
