THIS-WEEK PICKUP

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Tyler Shough is the stronger immediate points option. Tyler Shough is more widely available across ESPN leagues, but league-wide ownership cannot tell us who is available in yours. For a QB 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.
Dak Prescott projects for 17.5 Standard points against SF this week. His recent scoring average is 20.9 FP. The defensive matchup reduces the FF estimate by 2.5%. He is rostered in 92.2% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.12 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Tyler Shough projects for 18.1 Standard points against CAR this week. His recent scoring average is 16.8 FP. He is rostered in 70.1% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 0.07 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
