THE ALTERNATIVE

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Denver Broncos is the stronger immediate points option. Miami Dolphins 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.
Miami Dolphins projects for 4.2 Standard points against NE this week. He is rostered in 0.7% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.04 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
