The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Blake Corum is 4.0 PPR points a game off 1 market across 4 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-based projection for Malik Nabers is 2.9 PPR points a game off 1 market across 4 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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