THE ALTERNATIVE

The claim now. The weeks ahead. Make room for the right player.
THE PICKUP CALL
If both are available and you need Week 8 points, pick up Khalil Shakir over Antonio Williams: 8.2 versus 7.4 projected FP in Half-PPR. A longer-term hold can be a different decision; compare the outlook below before choosing who to drop.

THE ALTERNATIVE

THIS-WEEK PICKUP

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Khalil Shakir is the stronger immediate points option. Antonio Williams is more widely available across ESPN leagues, but league-wide ownership cannot tell us who is available in yours. For a WR 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.
Antonio Williams projects for 7.4 Half-PPR points against PHI this week. His recent scoring average is 5.5 FP. The defensive matchup raises the FF estimate by 8.75%. He is rostered in 15.0% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 1.27 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Khalil Shakir projects for 8.2 Half-PPR points against BAL this week. His recent scoring average is 10.4 FP. The defensive matchup raises the FF estimate by 1.25%. He is rostered in 60.0% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 0.77 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
