THE ALTERNATIVE

THIS-WEEK PICKUP

WHY THIS PICKUP?
KC Concepcion Jr. is the stronger immediate points option. Brian Thomas Jr. 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.
Brian Thomas Jr. projects for 3.0 Half-PPR points against IND this week. His recent scoring average is 0.0 FP. He is rostered in 40.6% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.74 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
KC Concepcion Jr. projects for 8.0 Half-PPR points against PIT this week. His recent scoring average is 8.7 FP. He is rostered in 58.9% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 1.92 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
