The claim now. The weeks ahead. Make room for the right player.

THE PICKUP CALL

Check availability before adding

WHY THIS PICKUP?

Fit the move to the job.

This comparison needs more than the headline projection. Ryan Flournoy 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.

Denzel Boston

Denzel Boston projects for 8.5 Half-PPR points against NO this week. His recent scoring average is 4.3 FP. He is rostered in 78.0% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.13 percentage points. His injury designation makes this a conditional pickup; verify his status before committing. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.

THE HOLD, NOT JUST THE CLAIM

What comes after this week?

Future FF estimates are separate from the current-week pickup call. Totals describe the player, not extra points for your roster. Weeks 15โ€“18 are a calendar view; your leagueโ€™s playoff weeks may differ. Green highlights the higher displayed projection when both outlooks are known; ties and incomplete comparisons stay neutral.
