- Nate Boerkircher: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 3:20 AM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Sat, Oct 31, 3:24 AM ET.

| Same projections, scored | Shaheed | Boerkircher |

| Standard | 3.2 | 0.9 |
What could change it before kickoff
- Rashid Shaheed's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Nate Boerkircher is the start.
- Nate Boerkircher plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Rashid Shaheed's late news is known.
