THIS-WEEK PICKUP

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Nate Adkins is the stronger immediate points option. Jack Endries 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.
Jack Endries projects for 1.2 Half-PPR points against ATL this week. His recent scoring average is 3.3 FP. He is rostered in 0.0% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 0.00 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Nate Adkins projects for 2.1 Half-PPR points against CAR this week. His recent scoring average is 2.5 FP. He is rostered in 0.0% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 0.00 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
