The market-based projections

CeeDee Lamb's market-based projection is 18.9 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 12 market sources. That is the 10th highest figure of the 208 players with a market-based projection.

The market has J.K. Dobbins at 14.8 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 10 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.

J.K. Dobbins's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
