THIS-WEEK PICKUP

THE ALTERNATIVE

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Jaylen Waddle is the stronger immediate points option. Ladd McConkey 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.
Jaylen Waddle projects for 11.5 PPR points against CAR this week. His recent scoring average is 10.0 FP. He is rostered in 85.7% 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.
Ladd McConkey projects for 11.0 PPR points against HOU this week. His recent scoring average is 7.7 FP. The defensive matchup raises the FF estimate by 5%. He is rostered in 85.0% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.06 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
