THIS-WEEK PICKUP

THE ALTERNATIVE

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Devaughn Vele is the stronger immediate points option. Makai Lemon 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.
Devaughn Vele projects for 7.3 Half-PPR points against CLE this week. His recent scoring average is 9.8 FP. He is rostered in 59.0% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.21 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Makai Lemon projects for 6.6 Half-PPR points against NYG this week. His recent scoring average is 9.4 FP. He is rostered in 51.9% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 0.07 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
