THIS-WEEK PICKUP

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Dalton Kincaid is the stronger immediate points option. Chig Okonkwo is more widely available across ESPN leagues, but league-wide ownership cannot tell us who is available in yours. For a TE 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.
Chig Okonkwo projects for 6.7 Half-PPR points against LAR this week. His recent scoring average is 6.3 FP. The defensive matchup reduces the FF estimate by 2.5%. He is rostered in 13.3% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 0.16 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Dalton Kincaid projects for 7.5 Half-PPR points against MIN this week. His recent scoring average is 11.9 FP. The defensive matchup reduces the FF estimate by 10%. He is rostered in 77.4% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.05 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
