THE ALTERNATIVE

THIS-WEEK PICKUP

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Jordan Love is the stronger immediate points option. Geno Smith 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.
Geno Smith projects for 15.6 Standard points against BUF this week. His recent scoring average is 16.3 FP. He is rostered in 21.6% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.19 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Jordan Love projects for 16.4 Standard points against MIN this week. His recent scoring average is 24.9 FP. The defensive matchup reduces the FF estimate by 10%. He is rostered in 91.5% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 0.32 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
