Should I drop Dalton Kincaid for DeMario Douglas?

THE DROP / ADD CALL

Lean: keep Dalton Kincaid

Dalton Kincaid retains a 8.4 FP remaining-schedule advantage. DeMario Douglas leads this week by 0.3 FP, but a short-term fill-in does not justify losing the stronger projected hold. 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. Dalton Kincaid is questionable; an injury designation alone is not a reason to drop him. They share FLEX eligibility, but this move changes your dedicated-position depth.
