THE ALTERNATIVE

THIS-WEEK PICKUP

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Devaughn Vele is the stronger immediate points option. Devaughn Vele is more widely available across ESPN leagues, but league-wide ownership cannot tell us who is available in yours. For a WR 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.
Courtland Sutton projects for 8.4 PPR points against CAR this week. His recent scoring average is 6.9 FP. He is rostered in 61.6% 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.
Devaughn Vele projects for 8.9 PPR points against CLE this week. His recent scoring average is 11.8 FP. He is rostered in 59.0% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.21 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
