The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Keon Coleman is 1.7 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.

The market-based projection for Khalil Herbert is 2.7 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 4 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.
