The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Kyren Williams is 6.0 PPR points a game off 1 market across 8 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.

Caleb Williams's market-based projection is 18.8 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 14 market sources. That is the 6th highest figure of the 184 players with a market-based projection.

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