THE DROP / ADD CALL

Lean: keep Chig Okonkwo

Chig Okonkwo retains a 9.9 FP remaining-schedule advantage. Colby Parkinson leads this week by 0.5 FP, but a short-term fill-in does not justify losing the stronger projected hold.

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.
