THE ALTERNATIVE

THIS-WEEK PICKUP

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Chris Boswell is the stronger immediate points option. Cairo Santos 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.
Cairo Santos projects for 7.1 Standard points against SEA this week. His recent scoring average is 7.3 FP. The defensive matchup reduces the FF estimate by 5%. He is rostered in 25.4% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 0.17 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Chris Boswell projects for 9.7 Standard points against CLE this week. His recent scoring average is 13.7 FP. He is rostered in 78.5% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 2.73 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
