WHY THIS PICKUP?

Fit the move to the job.

This comparison needs more than the headline projection. Pat Freiermuth 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.

Dallas Goedert

Dallas Goedert projects for 9.6 PPR points against NYG this week. His recent scoring average is 9.7 FP. He is rostered in 82.7% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 2.25 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.

Fortified Fantasy: 9.6 FP

Pat Freiermuth

BYE · Week 9. No game this week; use the future outlook to evaluate a stash.

Roster data as of Nov 4, 3:30 PM ET / Nov 4, 3:30 PM ET. Recent change uses ESPN’s reported field; its lookback window is not specified. Saved model estimates are supporting evidence, not independent votes.

THE HOLD, NOT JUST THE CLAIM

What comes after this week?

Future FF estimates are separate from the current-week pickup call. Totals describe the player, not extra points for your roster. Weeks 15–18 are a calendar view; your league’s playoff weeks may differ. Green highlights the higher displayed projection when both outlooks are known; ties and incomplete comparisons stay neutral.
