THE ALTERNATIVE

THIS-WEEK PICKUP

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Seattle Seahawks is the stronger immediate points option. Buffalo Bills is more widely available across ESPN leagues, but league-wide ownership cannot tell us who is available in yours. For a D/ST 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.
Buffalo Bills projects for 4.6 Standard points against BAL this week. He is rostered in 6.7% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.19 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Seattle Seahawks projects for 6.0 Standard points against CHI this week. He is rostered in 94.2% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 0.39 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
