The gap
- Board size303 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 MarShawn Lloyd, and the board ranks him 82nd overall on the rest of his evidence.
In 2QB drafts he goes at ADP 48.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Jeremy McNichols is 6.8 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 6 market sources. That is 70 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
MarShawn Lloyd's market-based projection is 5.3 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 103rd highest figure of the 207 players with a market-based projection.
