What could change it before kickoff

  • Saquon Barkley's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Kenyon Sadiq is the start.
  • 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.
  • Kenyon Sadiq plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Saquon Barkley's late news is known.
