WHY THIS PICKUP?
Fit the move to the job.
Michael Mayer is the stronger immediate points option. Kenyon Sadiq 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.
