The market-based projections

Dohnte Meyers's market-based projection is 4.4 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 11 market sources. That is the 59th highest figure of the 212 players with a market-based projection.

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