THE ALTERNATIVE

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Los Angeles Rams is the stronger immediate points option. Washington Commanders 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.
Los Angeles Rams projects for 8.9 Standard points against LAC this week. The defensive matchup raises the FF estimate by 10%. He is rostered in 92.0% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 2.30 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Washington Commanders projects for 6.8 Standard points against PHI this week. He is rostered in 38.8% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 10.37 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
