WHY THIS PICKUP?

Fit the move to the job.

Garrett Wilson is the stronger immediate points option. Michael Wilson 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.

Garrett Wilson

Garrett Wilson projects for 9.6 Half-PPR points against KC this week. His recent scoring average is 7.1 FP. The defensive matchup reduces the FF estimate by 8.75%.

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 15–18 are a calendar view; your league’s playoff weeks may differ. Green highlights the higher displayed projection when both outlooks are known; ties and incomplete comparisons stay neutral.
