What the player markets price

The market has Blake Corum at 11.0 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 6 market sources. That is 70 percent of what a running back's price needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

The market has Zay Flowers at 2.4 PPR points a game off 1 market across 8 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's price needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
