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 Allen, Williams and Irving at RB, London and a Questionable Pickens at WR, Kelce at TE, Swift at flex, with no eligible kicker so the K slot stays empty.
Closest call: WR2: I nearly started Stefon Diggs (healthy, projection 12.09) over the Questionable George Pickens (hamstring, projection 13.51); any downgrade of Pickens to doubtful/out or a Diggs projection above 13.5 would have flipped it.
Started Daniels, Kyren/Hubbard, Lamb/Chase, LaPorta, Higgins at FLEX, Reichard, and JAX against Team G.
Closest call: DEF JAX (projection 8.15, last3_ppg 8.67) over PHI (projection 8.25, last3_ppg 2.67); PHI would have started if JAX projection had fallen below 8.0 while PHI last3_ppg stayed this low.
