What the call rests on
- Keenan Allen: Sleeper's projection, last changed Tue, Oct 27, 10:00 PM ET
- Khalil Shakir: Sleeper's projection, last changed Tue, Oct 27, 10:00 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Tue, Oct 27, 10:03 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Tue, Oct 27, 10:03 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 | Allen | Shakir |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 9.3 | 9.3 |
| Half PPR | 7.2 | 7.4 |
| Standard | 5.2 | 5.5 |
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.
