THIS-WEEK PICKUP

THE ALTERNATIVE

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Elijah Mitchell is the stronger immediate points option. Sione Vaki 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.
Elijah Mitchell projects for 6.6 Half-PPR points against NYG this week. His recent scoring average is 5.3 FP. He is rostered in 9.8% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 6.63 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Sione Vaki projects for 3.5 Half-PPR points against MIA this week. His recent scoring average is 4.0 FP. He is rostered in 1.0% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 0.31 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
