Being dropped, and worth catching

Leagues are dropping these players, and the model still projects them as usable this week. A player leaving rosters is one you can often claim.

What these numbers are, and are not

Counts are leagues on Sleeper that added or dropped a player in the last 24 hours, rounded to two significant figures. Source: Sleeper, adds and drops across its leagues in the last 24 hours. Sleeper does not publish roster percentage, so this page cannot tell you whether a player is free in your league — check it before you plan around him. A high add count is a popularity signal, not advice; the verdict beside it is ours, from the model.
