WHY THIS PICKUP?
Fit the move to the job.
Brian Thomas Jr. is the stronger immediate points option. Jaydon Blue is more widely available across ESPN leagues, but league-wide ownership cannot tell us who is available in yours. These players share FLEX eligibility; check whether you also need one of them in a dedicated RB, WR or TE slot. 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.
