THE ALTERNATIVE

The claim now. The weeks ahead. Make room for the right player.
THE PICKUP CALL
If both are available and you need Week 9 points, pick up Rashee Rice over Omar Cooper Jr.: 14.3 versus 8.7 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?
Rashee Rice is the stronger immediate points option. Omar Cooper Jr. 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.
Omar Cooper Jr. projects for 8.7 PPR points against KC this week. His recent scoring average is 14.9 FP. The defensive matchup reduces the FF estimate by 8.75%. He is rostered in 69.4% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.21 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Rashee Rice projects for 14.3 PPR points against NYJ this week. His recent scoring average is 18.3 FP. He is rostered in 94.9% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.04 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
