THIS-WEEK PICKUP

THE ALTERNATIVE

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Chris Rodriguez Jr. is the stronger immediate points option. Chris Rodriguez Jr. 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.
Seth McGowan projects for 3.4 PPR points against JAC this week. His recent scoring average is 3.8 FP. The defensive matchup reduces the FF estimate by 8.75%. He is rostered in 15.3% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 0.72 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
