The gap
- Board size299 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 Najee Harris, and the board ranks him 167th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Our board does not carry Seth McGowan 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
The market-based projection for Najee Harris is 1.4 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
No season market is posted for Seth McGowan, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
