What the player markets price

The player markets price Deshaun Watson at 16.9 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 16 market sources. That is the 23rd highest figure of the 184 players the market prices.

The market has Kaleb Johnson at 9.7 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 14 market sources. That is 70 percent of what a running back's price needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Kaleb Johnson's price is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

Side by side

Deshaun Watson is a quarterback and Kaleb Johnson a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.
