Week 82026 ยท PPR ยท DROP / ADD

Should I drop Courtland Sutton for Bam Knight?

THE DROP / ADD CALL

Lean: keep Courtland Sutton

Courtland Sutton retains a 58.3 FP remaining-schedule advantage. The current-week projection also gives no clear reason to make this drop. Check for a lower-cost roster spot if you need coverage. 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.

Forecast updated Oct 30, 11:56 AM ET

WHY THIS MOVE?

A better week is only part of the decision.

Courtland Sutton is 62.0% rostered; Bam Knight is 11.4% rostered on ESPN. Ownership describes availability across leagues, not yours. Compare the weeks you need covered and the value you give up. A replacement can help now while weakening a later lineup.

THE HOLD, NOT JUST THE CLAIM

What comes after this week?

The Drop / Add assessment uses the immediate and future FF outlook together. Totals describe the player, not extra points for your roster. Weeks 15โ€“18 are a calendar view; your leagueโ€™s playoff weeks may differ. Green highlights the higher displayed projection when both outlooks are known; ties and incomplete comparisons stay neutral.
