The market-based projections
No season market is posted for George Holani, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
The market-based projection for Samaje Perine is 1.8 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
