THE PICKUP CALL

THE ALTERNATIVE

THIS-WEEK PICKUP

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Samaje Perine 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 12.1% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.44 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Samaje Perine projects for 7.5 Half-PPR points against TEN this week. His recent scoring average is 11.2 FP. He is rostered in 13.1% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 1.26 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
