THE ALTERNATIVE

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Drake Maye 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.
Drake Maye projects for 19.0 Standard points against GB this week. His recent scoring average is 24.6 FP. The defensive matchup reduces the FF estimate by 6.25%. He is rostered in 99.0% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 0.02 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Tyler Shough projects for 16.8 Standard points against CLE this week. His recent scoring average is 20.4 FP. He is rostered in 65.3% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.22 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
