THE PICKUP CALL

THIS-WEEK PICKUP

THE ALTERNATIVE

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Travis Kelce is the stronger immediate points option. Travis Kelce 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.
Travis Kelce projects for 9.6 Half-PPR points against NYJ this week. His recent scoring average is 7.6 FP. He is rostered in 92.1% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.13 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Tucker Kraft projects for 8.8 Half-PPR points against NE this week. His recent scoring average is 11.1 FP. He is rostered in 92.2% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.11 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
