The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Daniel Jones is 13.0 PPR points a game off 4 markets across 10 market sources. That is 80 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

The market-based projection for Malik Nabers is 2.5 PPR points a game off 1 market across 8 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.

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