THIS-WEEK PICKUP

THE ALTERNATIVE

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Sam LaPorta is the stronger immediate points option. Sam LaPorta 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.
Sam LaPorta projects for 9.9 Half-PPR points against MIA this week. His recent scoring average is 3.6 FP. The defensive matchup raises the FF estimate by 7.5%. He is rostered in 96.4% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.09 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Tyler Warren projects for 9.0 Half-PPR points against DAL this week. His recent scoring average is 3.8 FP. He is rostered in 96.6% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.06 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
