What the call rests on
- Jaylen Waddle: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Nov 4, 6:50 PM ET
- Tre Tucker: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Nov 4, 6:50 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Wed, Nov 4, 7:01 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Wed, Nov 4, 7:01 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 | Waddle | Tucker |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 11.5 | 11.2 |
| Half PPR | 9.3 | 9.3 |
| Standard | 7.2 | 7.5 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 0 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.
- Jaylen Waddle plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Tre Tucker's late news is known.
