- Sleeper's projections read Thu, Oct 29, 6:09 AM ET.

What could change it before kickoff
- Matthew Golden's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Omarion Hampton is the start.
- Matthew Golden plays first (Thu 8:15 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Omarion Hampton's late news is known.
