- Matthew Golden's game has already kicked off, so most platforms have locked him in or out for this week.
- Zach Charbonnet is questionable. The projection assumes he plays; if he's ruled out, the next player up is the call.
What the call rests on
- Matthew Golden: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 10:20 AM ET
- Zach Charbonnet: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 10:20 AM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Sat, Oct 31, 10:27 AM ET.
- Injury statuses read Sat, Oct 31, 10:27 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.

What could change it before kickoff
- Zach Charbonnet's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Matthew Golden is the start.
