THE ALTERNATIVE

THIS-WEEK PICKUP

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Jayden Daniels is the stronger immediate points option. Jared Goff 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.
Jared Goff projects for 15.9 Standard points against MIN this week. His recent scoring average is 23.5 FP. The defensive matchup reduces the FF estimate by 10%. He is rostered in 90.3% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.09 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Jayden Daniels projects for 21.2 Standard points against PHI this week. His recent scoring average is 26.6 FP. He is rostered in 95.0% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 0.58 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
