THE ALTERNATIVE

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Kansas City Chiefs is the stronger immediate points option. New York Jets 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.
Kansas City Chiefs projects for 6.0 Standard points against DEN this week. He is rostered in 54.8% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 2.12 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
New York Jets projects for 5.6 Standard points against LV this week. The defensive matchup reduces the FF estimate by 2.5%. He is rostered in 31.3% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 5.45 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
