THIS-WEEK PICKUP

THE ALTERNATIVE

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.
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 5.49 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Minnesota Vikings projects for 4.8 Standard points against DET this week. The defensive matchup reduces the FF estimate by 10%. He is rostered in 88.0% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.50 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
