What the player markets price
The player markets price Dak Prescott at 18.6 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 7th highest figure of the 132 players the market prices.
The market has Jameis Winston at 15.9 PPR points a game off 4 markets across 11 market sources. That is 80 percent of what a quarterback's price needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Jameis Winston's price is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
