The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Blake Corum is 3.2 PPR points a game off 1 market across 6 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 Tyler Warren is 2.3 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a tight end'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.
