THIS-WEEK PICKUP

THE ALTERNATIVE

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Jaylen Waddle is the stronger immediate points option. Malik Washington 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.
Jaylen Waddle projects for 9.2 Half-PPR points against CAR this week. His recent scoring average is 8.2 FP. He is rostered in 85.7% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.08 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Malik Washington projects for 8.8 Half-PPR points against DET this week. His recent scoring average is 8.8 FP. The defensive matchup raises the FF estimate by 3.75%. He is rostered in 38.0% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.08 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
