THE ALTERNATIVE

THIS-WEEK PICKUP

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Mason Taylor is the stronger immediate points option. Mason Taylor 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.
Kenyon Sadiq projects for 3.4 Half-PPR points against LV this week. His recent scoring average is 0.7 FP. The defensive matchup raises the FF estimate by 6.25%. He is rostered in 23.1% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.81 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Mason Taylor projects for 7.9 Half-PPR points against LV this week. His recent scoring average is 10.6 FP. The defensive matchup raises the FF estimate by 6.25%. He is rostered in 10.7% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 2.67 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
