If both are available and you need Week 8 points, pick up Rico Dowdle over Jonah Coleman: 9.0 versus 8.8 projected FP in PPR. A longer-term hold can be a different decision; compare the outlook below before choosing who to drop.

THE ALTERNATIVE

THIS-WEEK PICKUP

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Rico Dowdle is the stronger immediate points option. Jonah Coleman 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.
Jonah Coleman projects for 8.8 PPR points against KC this week. His recent scoring average is 8.9 FP. He is rostered in 44.0% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 2.07 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Rico Dowdle projects for 9.0 PPR points against CLE this week. His recent scoring average is 11.3 FP. The defensive matchup reduces the FF estimate by 1.25%. He is rostered in 64.4% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 1.60 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
