- Jakobi Meyers is questionable. The projection assumes he plays; if he's ruled out, the next player up is the call.
What the call rests on
- Jakobi Meyers: Sleeper's projection, last changed Fri, Oct 30, 12:00 PM ET
- Makai Lemon: 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 | Meyers | Lemon |

| Half PPR | 8.7 | 6.5 |
| Standard | 6.9 | 4.6 |
What could change it before kickoff
- Jakobi Meyers's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Makai Lemon is the start.
- A projection update of 2.2 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.
- Jakobi Meyers plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Makai Lemon's late news is known.
Open in Who should I start (your league, more players)
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%.
