What the player markets price

The player markets price Jameis Winston at 12.9 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 18 market sources. That is the 57th highest figure of the 216 players the market prices.

The market has Ty Johnson at 5.9 PPR points a game off 4 markets across 16 market sources. That is 60 percent of what a running back's price needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Ty Johnson's price is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
