The market-based projections

Tyrone Tracy's market-based projection is 5.9 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 9 market sources. That is the 107th highest figure of the 207 players with a market-based projection.

The market has C.J. Stroud at 18.7 PPR points a game off 4 markets across 10 market sources. That is 90 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Side by side

Tyrone Tracy finished RB28 and C.J. Stroud QB21, which are two different ladders.

Byes and availability

Both are off in Week 8, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.
