Should I drop Zach Charbonnet for Keenan Allen?

THE DROP / ADD CALL

Lean: keep Zach Charbonnet

Zach Charbonnet retains a 32.8 FP remaining-schedule advantage. Keenan Allen leads this week by 0.8 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.

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 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.
