The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Javonte Williams is 19.7 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 7 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.

Dak Prescott's market-based projection is 17.6 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 5 market sources. That is the 9th highest figure of the 208 players with a market-based projection.

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