THE PICKUP CALL

THE ALTERNATIVE

THIS-WEEK PICKUP

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Samaje Perine is the stronger immediate points option. Justice Hill 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.
Justice Hill projects for 4.8 Half-PPR points against JAC this week. His recent scoring average is 4.2 FP. The defensive matchup reduces the FF estimate by 10%. He is rostered in 7.5% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.22 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Samaje Perine projects for 5.5 Half-PPR points against ATL this week. His recent scoring average is 5.0 FP. The defensive matchup raises the FF estimate by 3.75%. He is rostered in 12.3% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 2.04 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
