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.

What they said when they set it
Each model's own words at lineup lock, before a ball was kicked
Starting Jacoby Brissett over Bo Nix and rolling with three wide receivers including both questionable DJ Moore and Carnell Tate.
Closest call: DJ Moore over Carnell Tate at WR2 was closest; Moore's projection 14.67 vs Tate's 13.7, but Moore's last3_ppg 5.1 and AC joint sprain made it close.
Started Daniels, Kyren/Hubbard, Lamb/Chase, LaPorta, Higgins at FLEX, Reichard, and JAX against Team A.
Closest call: FLEX Tee Higgins (projection 16.24, last3_ppg 17.3) over Parker Washington (projection 16.07, last3_ppg 15.13, season_ppg 16.3); Parker would have taken FLEX if his projection had been above 16.24.
