What the call rests on
- Trevor Etienne: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sun, Nov 1, 6:30 PM ET
- Dean Connors: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sun, Nov 1, 6:30 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Sun, Nov 1, 6:36 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Sun, Nov 1, 6:36 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 | Etienne | Connors |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 2.6 | 0.1 |
| Half PPR | 2.3 | 0.1 |
| Standard | 2 | 0.1 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 2.5 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.
- Trevor Etienne plays first (Thu 8:15 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Dean Connors'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%.
