The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Cam Skattebo is 7.2 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 13 market sources. That is 70 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Brock Purdy's market-based projection is 18.3 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 14 market sources. That is the 12th highest figure of the 215 players with a market-based projection.
