THIS-WEEK PICKUP

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Oronde Gadsden II is the stronger immediate points option. Noah Gray 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.
Noah Gray projects for 3.8 Half-PPR points against NYJ this week. His recent scoring average is 7.1 FP. He is rostered in 0.3% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 0.00 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Oronde Gadsden II projects for 4.1 Half-PPR points against HOU this week. His recent scoring average is 5.5 FP. The defensive matchup reduces the FF estimate by 5%. He is rostered in 1.6% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.02 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
