What could change it before kickoff

  • A projection update of 2.5 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.
  • In standard scoring the call goes the other way: Emanuel Wilson 5.6, Malik Washington 5.5.
  • Malik Washington plays first (Sun 4:25 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Emanuel Wilson's late news is known.
