The gap

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 Kenyon Sadiq, and the board ranks him 121st overall on the rest of his evidence.

Our board does not carry Gunnar Helm 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

The market-based projection for Kenyon Sadiq is 1.7 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a tight end's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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