Should I drop Xavier Worthy for Khalil Shakir?

THE DROP / ADD CALL

The right move depends on the weeks you need

Khalil Shakir is ahead by 1.2 FP this week, behind by 0.2 FP across the remaining schedule, and ahead by 0.7 FP in Weeks 15–18. The horizons disagree or are too close for an unconditional drop. Use GamePlan to check your actual starters, bench depth and league playoff weeks. These are player forecast totals, not extra starter points or playoff-odds gains for your team.

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.
