THE PICKUP CALL

THE ALTERNATIVE

THIS-WEEK PICKUP

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Chase Brown is the stronger immediate points option. Braelon Allen 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.
Braelon Allen projects for 10.9 Half-PPR points against KC this week. His recent scoring average is 16.7 FP. He is rostered in 83.3% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.02 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Chase Brown projects for 14.1 Half-PPR points against ATL this week. His recent scoring average is 9.9 FP. The defensive matchup raises the FF estimate by 3.75%. He is rostered in 98.7% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.06 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
