The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Zay Flowers is 3.9 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Jalen Nailor's market-based projection is 3.4 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 5 market sources. That is the 67th highest figure of the 210 players with a market-based projection.
