The gap

  • Board size300 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

Live drafts hold no current pick on Nate Boerkircher, and the board ranks him 113th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Our board does not carry Brevyn Spann-Ford at all right now: live drafts have stopped taking him and there is no player market on him this week, so he has no rank, no tier and no ADP here.

The market-based projections

Nate Boerkircher's market-based projection is 2.3 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 11 market sources. That is the 90th highest figure of the 183 players with a market-based projection.

No season market is posted for Brevyn Spann-Ford, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
