The market-based projections

Drew Lock's market-based projection is 14.7 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 7 market sources. That is the 30th highest figure of the 209 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Alvin Kamara is 3.1 PPR points a game off 1 market across 8 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.

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