THE ALTERNATIVE

THIS-WEEK PICKUP

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Mike Washington Jr. is the stronger immediate points option. Bam Knight is more widely available across ESPN leagues, but league-wide ownership cannot tell us who is available in yours. For a RB 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.
Bam Knight projects for 5.2 Half-PPR points against DAL this week. The defensive matchup raises the FF estimate by 2.5%. He is rostered in 11.4% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 1.00 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Mike Washington Jr. projects for 5.3 Half-PPR points against NYJ this week. His recent scoring average is 3.2 FP. He is rostered in 17.5% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 0.23 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
