THE ALTERNATIVE

THIS-WEEK PICKUP

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Will Reichard is the stronger immediate points option. Jake Elliott is more widely available across ESPN leagues, but league-wide ownership cannot tell us who is available in yours. For a K 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.
Jake Elliott projects for 5.8 Standard points against WAS this week. His recent scoring average is 3.7 FP. The defensive matchup raises the FF estimate by 1.25%. He is rostered in 6.0% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.18 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Will Reichard projects for 9.3 Standard points against DET this week. His recent scoring average is 14.0 FP. The defensive matchup reduces the FF estimate by 10%. He is rostered in 93.2% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 1.05 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
