THE ALTERNATIVE

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Cade Otton is the stronger immediate points option. Noah Gray is more widely available across ESPN leagues, but league-wide ownership cannot tell us who is available in yours. For a TE 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.
Cade Otton projects for 3.4 Standard points against CHI this week. His recent scoring average is 0.1 FP. He is rostered in 2.4% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.03 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Noah Gray projects for 3.0 Standard points against NYJ this week. His recent scoring average is 5.7 FP. He is rostered in 0.3% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 0.00 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
