What the call rests on
- Keaton Mitchell: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sun, Nov 1, 6:30 PM ET
- Zavion Thomas: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sun, Nov 1, 6:30 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Sun, Nov 1, 6:36 PM ET.

| Same projections, scored | Mitchell | Thomas |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 5.8 | 2.8 |
| Half PPR | 5.2 | 2.3 |
| Standard | 4.6 | 1.8 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 2.8 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.
- Keaton Mitchell plays first (Sun 4:05 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Zavion Thomas's late news is known.
