- Drew Lock is questionable. The projection assumes he plays; if he's ruled out, the next player up is the call.
What the call rests on

- Drew Lock: Sleeper's projection
- Sleeper's projections read Sat, Oct 31, 12:00 AM ET.

| Half PPR | 5.8 | 0 |
| Standard | 4.1 | 0 |
What could change it before kickoff
- Drew Lock's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Michael Mayer is the start.
- Michael Mayer plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Drew Lock's late news is known.
