WHY THIS PICKUP?

Fit the move to the job.

Dylan Sampson is the stronger immediate points option. Dylan Sampson 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.

Dylan Sampson

Dylan Sampson projects for 8.1 Half-PPR points against NO this week. His recent scoring average is 9.6 FP. The defensive matchup raises the FF estimate by 10%. He is rostered in 14.2% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 2.72 percentage points. 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.
