- 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 Wed, Nov 4, 5:30 AM ET
- Ted Hurst III: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Nov 4, 5:30 AM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Wed, Nov 4, 5:45 AM ET.
- Injury statuses read Wed, Nov 4, 5:45 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.
| Same projections, scored | Meyers | III |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 9.5 | 4.8 |
| Half PPR | 7.8 | 4.1 |
| Standard | 6.2 | 3.3 |
What could change it before kickoff
- Jakobi Meyers's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Ted Hurst III is the start.
- A projection update of 2.9 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 (Thu 8:15 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Ted Hurst III's late news is known.
