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 Jake Ferguson, and the board ranks him 61st overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Tommy Tremble, and the board ranks him 144th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
Jake Ferguson's market-based projection is 6.4 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 11 market sources. That is the 70th highest figure of the 194 players with a market-based projection.
The market-based projection for Tommy Tremble is 1.8 PPR points a game off 1 market across 8 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a tight end's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Tommy Tremble's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
