- Treylon Burks is questionable. The projection assumes he plays; if he's ruled out, the next player up is the call.
What the call rests on
- Treylon Burks: Sleeper's projection, last changed Thu, Oct 29, 1:40 AM ET
- Dawson Knox: Sleeper's projection, last changed Thu, Oct 29, 1:40 AM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Thu, Oct 29, 1:46 AM ET.

| Standard | 3.7 | 2 |
What could change it before kickoff
- Treylon Burks's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Dawson Knox is the start.
- A projection update of 2.1 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.
- Dawson Knox plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Treylon Burks'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%.
