THE ALTERNATIVE

THIS-WEEK PICKUP

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Jacksonville Jaguars is the stronger immediate points option. Jacksonville Jaguars 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.
Denver Broncos projects for 4.8 Standard points against KC this week. The defensive matchup reduces the FF estimate by 8.75%. He is rostered in 84.6% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.80 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Jacksonville Jaguars projects for 7.4 Standard points against IND this week. The defensive matchup raises the FF estimate by 5%. He is rostered in 77.8% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 5.70 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
