THIS-WEEK PICKUP

THE ALTERNATIVE

WHY THIS PICKUP?
George Kittle is the stronger immediate points option. George Kittle 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.
George Kittle projects for 11.3 Standard points against LV this week. His recent scoring average is 9.8 FP. The defensive matchup raises the FF estimate by 6.25%. He is rostered in 97.8% 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.
Trey McBride projects for 8.3 Standard points against SEA this week. His recent scoring average is 11.9 FP. The defensive matchup reduces the FF estimate by 7.5%. He is rostered in 99.8% 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.
