What the call rests on
- Elijah Mitchell: Sleeper's projection, last changed Mon, Nov 2, 2:30 AM ET
- Emmanuel Henderson Jr.: Sleeper's projection
- Sleeper's projections read Mon, Nov 2, 2:38 AM ET.
- Injury statuses read Mon, Nov 2, 2:38 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 | Jr. |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 3.3 | 0 |
| Half PPR | 3 | 0 |
| Standard | 2.6 | 0 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 2.6 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.
- Elijah Mitchell plays first (Sun 8:20 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Emmanuel Henderson Jr.'s late news is known.
Open in Who should I start (your league, more players)
This week’s projections are Sleeper’s, scored with Standard 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%.
