What the call rests on
- Tyler Higbee: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Oct 28, 5:10 PM ET
- Jauan Jennings: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Oct 28, 5:10 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Wed, Oct 28, 5:19 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Wed, Oct 28, 5:19 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 | Higbee | Jennings |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 8.4 | 6.1 |
| Half PPR | 6.8 | 5.1 |
| Standard | 5.1 | 4 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 2.3 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.
- Jauan Jennings plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Tyler Higbee'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%.
