The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Chris Olave is 2.8 PPR points a game off 1 market across 7 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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