The gap

  • Board size299 draftable players

Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Germie Bernard, and the board ranks him 20th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Our board does not carry Tez Johnson at all right now: live drafts have stopped taking him and there is no player market on him this week, so he has no rank, no tier and no ADP here.

The market-based projections

Germie Bernard's market-based projection is 12.0 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 8 market sources. That is the 23rd highest figure of the 181 players with a market-based projection.

No season market is posted for Tez Johnson, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
