THIS-WEEK PICKUP

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Ka'imi Fairbairn is the stronger immediate points option. Ka'imi Fairbairn 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.
Jason Myers projects for 8.8 Standard points against ARI this week. His recent scoring average is 5.3 FP. He is rostered in 89.4% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 0.01 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Ka'imi Fairbairn projects for 9.3 Standard points against LAC this week. His recent scoring average is 11.0 FP. He is rostered in 82.5% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 0.21 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
