The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Woody Marks is 4.2 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.

The market-based projection for Nico Collins is 2.6 PPR points a game off 1 market across 7 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.

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