THE ALTERNATIVE

THIS-WEEK PICKUP

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Greg Dulcich is the stronger immediate points option. Eli Raridon 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.
Eli Raridon projects for 5.0 Half-PPR points against GB this week. His recent scoring average is 5.2 FP. The defensive matchup reduces the FF estimate by 8.75%. He is rostered in 2.0% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 0.13 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Greg Dulcich projects for 8.0 Half-PPR points against DET this week. His recent scoring average is 8.7 FP. The defensive matchup raises the FF estimate by 10%. He is rostered in 2.7% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 1.30 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
