Should I drop Jakobi Meyers for Kalif Raymond?

THE DROP / ADD CALL

Lean: keep Jakobi Meyers

Jakobi Meyers retains a 66.3 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. Jakobi Meyers is questionable; an injury designation alone is not a reason to drop him.

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 15–18 are a calendar view; your league’s playoff weeks may differ. Green highlights the higher displayed projection when both outlooks are known; ties and incomplete comparisons stay neutral.
