THE ALTERNATIVE

THIS-WEEK PICKUP

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Dylan Sampson is the stronger immediate points option. Dylan Sampson 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.
Chris Rodriguez Jr. projects for 5.8 PPR points against IND this week. His recent scoring average is 3.8 FP. He is rostered in 12.2% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 0.22 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Dylan Sampson projects for 7.5 PPR points against PIT this week. His recent scoring average is 10.7 FP. He is rostered in 10.8% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 0.37 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
