THE ALTERNATIVE

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Daniel Jones is the stronger immediate points option. Daniel Jones 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.
Daniel Jones projects for 12.0 Standard points against MIA this week. His recent scoring average is 6.8 FP. He is rostered in 11.1% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.06 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Fernando Mendoza projects for 11.3 Standard points against SEA this week. The defensive matchup reduces the FF estimate by 7.5%. He is rostered in 18.9% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 0.24 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
