What the call rests on
- Zay Flowers: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Oct 28, 8:00 AM ET
- Jaylen Warren: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Oct 28, 8:00 AM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Wed, Oct 28, 8:09 AM ET.
- Injury statuses read Wed, Oct 28, 8:09 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 | Flowers | Warren |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 18.4 | 14.8 |
| Half PPR | 15.6 | 13.4 |
| Standard | 12.7 | 12 |
What could change it before kickoff
Nothing pending on either: both are expected to play, and the gap is wide enough that a typical projection update doesn't close it.
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%.
