The gap

  • Board size335 draftable players

Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.

Where the draft room stands

By format he goes standard: ADP 8; 2QB: ADP 25.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Zach Charbonnet, and the board ranks him 67th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Ashton Jeanty's market-based projection is 16.3 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 26th highest figure of the 213 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Zach Charbonnet is 10.1 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 40 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
