- Rashid Shaheed is questionable. The projection assumes he plays; if he's ruled out, the next player up is the call.
What the call rests on
- Geno Smith: Sleeper's projection, last changed Fri, Oct 30, 12:00 PM ET
- Rashid Shaheed: Sleeper's projection, last changed Fri, Oct 30, 12:00 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Fri, Oct 30, 12:15 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Fri, Oct 30, 12:15 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 | Smith | Shaheed |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 17 | 6.5 |
| Half PPR | 17 | 5.5 |
| Standard | 17 | 4.5 |
What could change it before kickoff
- Rashid Shaheed's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Geno Smith is the start.
- Geno Smith plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Rashid Shaheed's late news is known.

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%.
