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 Rashod Bateman, and the board ranks him 151st overall on the rest of his evidence.

Our board does not carry Konata Mumpfield at all right now: live drafts have stopped taking him and there is no player market on him this week, so he has no rank, no tier and no ADP here.

The market-based projections
