Sleeper's projections read Sat, Oct 31, 8:27 AM ET.
Injury statuses read Sat, Oct 31, 8:27 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	Herbert	Mason
PPR	13.5	11.2
Half PPR	13.5	10.6
Standard	13.5	10

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.
Jordan Mason plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Justin Herbert'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%.
