The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Malik Nabers is 2.6 PPR points a game off 1 market across 8 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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