The market-based projections

Jameson Williams's market-based projection is 11.7 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 8 market sources. That is the 9th highest figure of the 180 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for DK Metcalf is 3.1 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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