WHY THIS PICKUP?
Fit the move to the job.
Kimani Vidal is the stronger immediate points option. Kimani Vidal 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.

Kenny Gainwell projects for 5.4 Standard points against ATL this week. His recent scoring average is 4.7 FP.
