THE ALTERNATIVE

THIS-WEEK PICKUP

WHY THIS PICKUP?
Mike Washington Jr. is the stronger immediate points option. Emmett Johnson 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.
Emmett Johnson projects for 3.1 Standard points against DEN this week. His recent scoring average is 2.0 FP. He is rostered in 12.1% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.16 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
Mike Washington Jr. projects for 5.0 Standard points against NYJ this week. His recent scoring average is 2.9 FP. He is rostered in 17.5% of ESPN leagues, with a reported gain of 0.24 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
