The Week 3 call

Tobias Harris is listed Out (Calf) on Sleeper, so his projection counts no games while that stands.

Points leagues, Week 3 (Nov 2-8): start Kyle Kuzma. Kyle Kuzma has 3 games counted to 0 for Tobias Harris, for 71.0 projected fantasy points against 0.0.

9-cat leagues: Tobias Harris instead, 0.0 category value for the week to -12.6, because his category mix is worth more there.

Kyle Kuzma played 25.4 minutes a game over his last 5 games of 2026-27, in line with his 26.2 on the board.

Tobias Harris's minutes are down: 20.5 a game over his last 5 games of 2025-26, against 27.7 on the board.

This is the call for one lineup slot across the week, the way weekly-lock leagues play it. In a daily-lineup league, start whichever of the two plays that night, and both when they fit.
