THE ALTERNATIVE

THIS-WEEK PICKUP

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Mike Washington Jr. is the stronger immediate points option. Keaton Mitchell 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.
Keaton Mitchell projects for 4.4 Half-PPR points against LAR this week. His recent scoring average is 2.4 FP. He is rostered in 12.0% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.42 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Mike Washington Jr. projects for 5.4 Half-PPR points against NYJ this week. His recent scoring average is 3.2 FP. He is rostered in 17.5% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 0.24 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
