What the call rests on

  • Jacoby Brissett: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 5:20 AM ET
  • Zach Ertz: Sleeper's projection
  • Sleeper's projections read Sat, Oct 31, 5:27 AM ET.
  • Injury statuses read Sat, Oct 31, 5:27 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.

What could change it before kickoff

  • Jacoby Brissett plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Zach Ertz'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%.
