- Saquon Barkley is questionable. The projection assumes he plays; if he's ruled out, the next player up is the call.
What the call rests on
- Ollie Gordon II: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Oct 28, 3:30 PM ET
- Saquon Barkley: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Oct 28, 3:30 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Wed, Oct 28, 3:42 PM ET.
- Injury statuses read Wed, Oct 28, 3:42 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 | II | Barkley |

| PPR | 12.9 | 10.9 |
| Half PPR | 12.1 | 10.2 |
| Standard | 11.3 | 9.6 |
What could change it before kickoff
- Saquon Barkley's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Ollie Gordon II is the start.
- A projection update of 2 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.
- Ollie Gordon II plays first (Sun 4:25 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Saquon Barkley's late news is known.
Open in Who should I start (your league, more players)
This week’s projections are Sleeper’s, scored with PPR settings. The percentage is how often a projected gap like this held up across the 2025 season; checked against 2026 games (not used to fit it), the stated chances so far run a few points high, so read a 60% call as nearer 55%.
