THIS-WEEK PICKUP

THE ALTERNATIVE

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Eli Raridon 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 5.1 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 0.15 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Mark Andrews projects for 5.0 Half-PPR points against JAC this week. His recent scoring average is 2.5 FP. He is rostered in 63.0% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 3.35 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
