Who should I pick up: Andre Szmyt or Andy Borregales?

The claim now. The weeks ahead. Make room for the right player.

Reception scoring does not change these projections. One comparison covers PPR, Half-PPR and Standard.

THE PICKUP CALL

Too close for a points-only pickup

Andre Szmyt and Andy Borregales are effectively tied for Week 8. Your open slot, bye coverage and how long you plan to keep the pickup should decide this one.

WHY THIS PICKUP?

Fit the move to the job.

This comparison needs more than the headline projection. Andy Borregales is more widely available across ESPN leagues, but league-wide ownership cannot tell us who is available in yours. For a K 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.

Andre Szmyt

Andre Szmyt projects for 7.3 Standard points against PIT this week. His recent scoring average is 7.0 FP. The defensive matchup raises the FF estimate by 6.25%. He is rostered in 1.8% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 0.10 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.

THE HOLD, NOT JUST THE CLAIM

What comes after this week?

Future FF estimates are separate from the current-week pickup call. Totals describe the player, not extra points for your roster. Weeks 15–18 are a calendar view; your league’s playoff weeks may differ. Green highlights the higher displayed projection when both outlooks are known; ties and incomplete comparisons stay neutral.
