THIS-WEEK PICKUP

THE ALTERNATIVE

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Chase Brown is the stronger immediate points option. Saquon Barkley 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.
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.
Saquon Barkley projects for 12.7 Half-PPR points against NYG this week. His recent scoring average is 13.0 FP. He is rostered in 97.8% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.08 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
