- Sleeper's projections read Wed, Oct 28, 7:36 PM ET.

| Same projections, scored | Perine | Burks |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 7.1 | 0.6 |
| Half PPR | 6.3 | 0.5 |
| Standard | 5.4 | 0.4 |
What could change it before kickoff
Nothing pending on either: both are expected to play, and the gap is wide enough that a typical projection update doesn't close it.
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%.
