What the call rests on
- Ty Johnson: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Oct 28, 1:30 PM ET
- Zachariah Branch: Sleeper's projection, last changed Wed, Oct 28, 1:30 PM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Wed, Oct 28, 1:34 PM ET.

| Same projections, scored | Johnson | Branch |
|---|---|---|
| PPR | 5.4 | 2.9 |
| Half PPR | 4.6 | 2.4 |
| Standard | 3.8 | 1.8 |
What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 2.5 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.
