The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Josh Jacobs is 4.4 PPR points a game off 1 market across 11 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Tyler Higbee's market-based projection is 9.1 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 8 market sources. That is the 69th highest figure of the 199 players with a market-based projection.

Josh Jacobs's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

Byes and availability

Both are off in Week 11, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.
