The claim now. The weeks ahead. Make room for the right player.
THE PICKUP CALL
The displayed FF scores are tied. Jack Endries gets the tiebreaker: FF is +0.1 FP versus ESPN, compared with +0.0 for Adam Trautman. The higher FF-minus-ESPN margin is preferred; this is not a measured probability of beating ESPN. A longer-term pickup decision can differ; compare roster fit and the outlook before dropping anyone.

THIS-WEEK PICKUP

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Jack Endries is the stronger immediate points option. Jack Endries is more widely available across ESPN leagues, but league-wide ownership cannot tell us who is available in yours. For a TE vacancy, compare the immediate matchup with the weeks you actually need covered. A rising roster percentage can explain interest in a player; it does not increase his projected score. If you must drop someone, check the full roster in GamePlan before making the claim.
Adam Trautman projects for 1.2 Half-PPR points against CAR this week. His recent scoring average is 1.3 FP. He is rostered in 0.1% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 0.00 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Jack Endries projects for 1.2 Half-PPR points against ATL this week. His recent scoring average is 3.3 FP. He is rostered in 0.0% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 0.00 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
