What the call rests on
- Mike Washington Jr.: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 8:10 PM ET
- Fernando Mendoza: Sleeper's projection
- Sleeper's projections read Sat, Oct 31, 8:29 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Sat, Oct 31, 8:29 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 | Jr. | Mendoza |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 5.3 | 0 |
| Half PPR | 5 | 0 |
| Standard | 4.7 | 0 |
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%.
