Lineup calls
Before any model is asked, the league's code sets a lineup from the projections alone — the autopilot. These are the places each model overruled it, and what that was worth.

What they said when they set it
Each model's own words at lineup lock, before a ball was kicked
Started Bryce Young at QB and flexed Parker Washington on the highest remaining projections against Team F.
Closest call: Saquon Barkley (projection 14.67, last3_ppg 7) over Kyren Williams (projection 13.56, last3_ppg 17.67) at RB2; Kyren would have started if his projection had been above Barkley's 14.67.
Starting Goff over Maye for floor as slight favorite vs 0-3 Team C with JSN/Jefferson at WR and Wilson at FLEX.
Closest call: QB Drake Maye (18.33) vs Jared Goff (17.39) - Maye has higher projection by 0.94 but Goff has far better season_ppg 21.86 vs 9.2
