What the call rests on
- Dylan Sampson: Sleeper's projection, last changed Fri, Oct 30, 2:20 PM ET
- Seth McGowan: Sleeper's projection, last changed Fri, Oct 30, 2:20 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Fri, Oct 30, 2:30 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Fri, Oct 30, 2:30 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 | Sampson | McGowan |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 6.5 | 4.6 |
| Half PPR | 5.6 | 4 |
| Standard | 4.7 | 3.4 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 1.9 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.

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%.
