The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Dak Prescott is 19.1 PPR points a game off 3 markets across 11 market sources. That is 70 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

The market-based projection for Kyren Williams is 6.0 PPR points a game off 1 market across 8 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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