- Sleeper's projections read Sat, Oct 31, 1:28 PM ET.

| Same projections, scored | III | Jr. |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 4 | 1.8 |
| Half PPR | 3.2 | 1.5 |
| Standard | 2.4 | 1.2 |
What could change it before kickoff
- 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.
- John Metchie III plays first (Thu 8:15 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before LeQuint Allen Jr.'s late news is known.
