THIS-WEEK PICKUP

THE ALTERNATIVE

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Chase Brown is the stronger immediate points option. Saquon Barkley is more widely available across ESPN leagues, but league-wide ownership cannot tell us who is available in yours. For a RB 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.
Chase Brown projects for 16.9 PPR points against ATL this week. His recent scoring average is 12.9 FP. The defensive matchup raises the FF estimate by 5%. He is rostered in 98.7% 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.
Saquon Barkley projects for 13.5 PPR points against NYG this week. His recent scoring average is 13.8 FP. He is rostered in 97.8% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.08 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
