THIS-WEEK PICKUP

THE ALTERNATIVE

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Elijah Mitchell is the stronger immediate points option. Elijah Mitchell 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.
Elijah Mitchell projects for 5.3 Standard points against NYG this week. His recent scoring average is 3.5 FP. He is rostered in 12.6% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 9.45 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Kimani Vidal projects for 5.2 Standard points against HOU this week. His recent scoring average is 3.5 FP. He is rostered in 13.8% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 1.42 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
