The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Bijan Robinson is 4.4 PPR points a game off 1 market across 7 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

The market has A.J. Brown at 2.9 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Bijan Robinson's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
