What the call rests on
- Keaton Mitchell: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 4:20 AM ET
- DJ Herman: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 4:20 AM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Sat, Oct 31, 4:27 AM ET.
- Injury statuses read Sat, Oct 31, 4:27 AM 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 | Mitchell | Herman |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 5.8 | 1.1 |
| Half PPR | 5.2 | 0.8 |
| Standard | 4.6 | 0.6 |
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.

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%.
