THE PICKUP CALL

THE ALTERNATIVE

THIS-WEEK PICKUP

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Tucker Kraft is the stronger immediate points option. Kyle Pitts Sr. 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.
Kyle Pitts Sr. projects for 10.1 PPR points against CIN this week. His recent scoring average is 12.9 FP. The defensive matchup raises the FF estimate by 1.25%. He is rostered in 86.2% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.17 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Tucker Kraft projects for 11.2 PPR points against NE this week. His recent scoring average is 13.6 FP. He is rostered in 92.2% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.11 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
