Should I drop Zach Charbonnet for KC Concepcion Jr.?

THE DROP / ADD CALL

Lean: keep Zach Charbonnet

Zach Charbonnet retains a 19.5 FP remaining-schedule advantage. KC Concepcion Jr. leads this week by 0.5 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. Zach Charbonnet 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.
