The claim now. The weeks ahead. Make room for the right player.

THE PICKUP CALL

For this week: Blake Corum

Forecast updated Nov 4, 7:06 AM ET · Standard

WHY THIS PICKUP?

Fit the move to the job.

Blake Corum is the stronger immediate points option. Jordan Mason 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.

Blake Corum

Blake Corum projects for 8.3 Standard points against WAS this week. His recent scoring average is 13.8 FP. The defensive matchup reduces the FF estimate by 6.25%. He is rostered in 79.9% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.06 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.

THE HOLD, NOT JUST THE CLAIM

What comes after this week?

Future FF estimates are separate from the current-week pickup call. Totals describe the player, not extra points for your roster. Weeks 15–18 are a calendar view; your league’s playoff weeks may differ. Green highlights the higher displayed projection when both outlooks are known; ties and incomplete comparisons stay neutral.
