Forecast updated Nov 4, 6:20 PM ET ยท PPR

WHY THIS PICKUP?

Fit the move to the job.

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.

Dylan Sampson

Dylan Sampson projects for 10.0 PPR points against NO this week. His recent scoring average is 11.8 FP. The defensive matchup raises the FF estimate by 10%. He is rostered in 14.2% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 2.72 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.

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 15โ€“18 are a calendar view; your leagueโ€™s playoff weeks may differ. Green highlights the higher displayed projection when both outlooks are known; ties and incomplete comparisons stay neutral.
