THE PICKUP CALL
If both are available and you need Week 9 points, pick up Zach Charbonnet over Alvin Kamara: 8.4 versus 5.8 projected FP in Standard. A longer-term hold can be a different decision; compare the outlook below before choosing who to drop.

THE ALTERNATIVE

THIS-WEEK PICKUP

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Zach Charbonnet is the stronger immediate points option. Alvin Kamara is more widely available across ESPN leagues, but league-wide ownership cannot tell us who is available in yours. For a RB 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.
Alvin Kamara projects for 5.8 Standard points against CLE this week. His recent scoring average is 9.6 FP. He is rostered in 57.4% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.20 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Zach Charbonnet projects for 8.4 Standard points against ARI this week. His recent scoring average is 2.9 FP. He is rostered in 73.0% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 0.02 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
