The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Nicholas Singleton is 1.7 PPR points a game off 3 markets across 12 market sources. That is 60 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Gunnar Helm's market-based projection is 4.9 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 129th highest figure of the 213 players with a market-based projection.

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