WHY THIS PICKUP?
Fit the move to the job.
Khalil Shakir is the stronger immediate points option. Khalil Shakir is more widely available across ESPN leagues, but league-wide ownership cannot tell us who is available in yours. For a WR 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.
Josh Downs
Josh Downs projects for 5.8 Standard points against JAC this week. His recent scoring average is 3.7 FP. The defensive matchup raises the FF estimate by 6.25%. He is rostered in 63.5% of ESPN leagues, with a reported decline of 0.38 percentage points. Roster trends measure manager activity, not a guarantee of playing time or availability in your league.
