THE ALTERNATIVE

The claim now. The weeks ahead. Make room for the right player.
THE PICKUP CALL
The displayed FF scores are tied. Jack Endries gets the tiebreaker: FF is +0.2 FP versus ESPN, compared with +0.0 for Adam Trautman. The higher FF-minus-ESPN margin is preferred; this is not a measured probability of beating ESPN. A longer-term pickup decision can differ; compare roster fit and the outlook before dropping anyone.

THIS-WEEK PICKUP

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Jack Endries is the stronger immediate points option. Jack Endries 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.
Adam Trautman projects for 1.6 PPR points against CAR this week. His recent scoring average is 1.7 FP. He is rostered in 0.1% 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.
Jack Endries projects for 1.6 PPR points against ATL this week. His recent scoring average is 3.5 FP. He is rostered in 0.0% 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.
