The gap
- Board size300 draftable players
Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.
Where the draft room stands
Live drafts hold no current pick on Josh Cuevas, and the board ranks him 94th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Our board does not carry Davis Allen at all right now: live drafts have stopped taking him and there is no player market on him this week, so he has no rank, no tier and no ADP here.
The market-based projections
Josh Cuevas's market-based projection is 2.7 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 10 market sources. That is the 73rd highest figure of the 183 players with a market-based projection.
No season market is posted for Davis Allen, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
