Should I drop Rico Dowdle for Wan'Dale Robinson?

THE DROP / ADD CALL

The right move depends on the weeks you need

Wan'Dale Robinson is behind by 0.5 FP this week, ahead by 1.9 FP across the remaining schedule, and behind by 1.4 FP in Weeks 15–18. The horizons disagree or are too close for an unconditional drop. Use GamePlan to check your actual starters, bench depth and league playoff weeks. These are player forecast totals, not extra starter points or playoff-odds gains for your team. They share FLEX eligibility, but this move changes your dedicated-position depth.
