The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Garrett Wilson is 2.7 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.

The market-based projection for MarShawn Lloyd is 1.2 PPR points a game off 1 market across 3 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Side by side

Garrett Wilson is a wide receiver and MarShawn Lloyd a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Garrett Wilson is off in Week 13 and MarShawn Lloyd in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.
