THE ALTERNATIVE

THIS-WEEK PICKUP

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Kimani Vidal is the stronger immediate points option. Keaton Mitchell 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.
Keaton Mitchell projects for 5.3 PPR points against LAR this week. His recent scoring average is 3.1 FP. He is rostered in 12.0% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.42 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Kimani Vidal projects for 7.2 PPR points against LAR this week. His recent scoring average is 9.8 FP. He is rostered in 13.3% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 2.80 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
