The gap
- Board size293 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 Jeremiyah Love, and the board ranks him 66th overall on the rest of his evidence.
By format he goes standard: ADP 10; 2QB: ADP 29.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Jaxson Dart, and the board ranks him 227th overall on the rest of his evidence.
In 2QB drafts he goes at ADP 16.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Jeremiyah Love is 3.9 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
No season market is posted for Jaxson Dart, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
