The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Pierre Strong is 1.5 PPR points a game off 1 market across 13 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Troy Franklin's market-based projection is 4.0 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 8 market sources. That is the 118th highest figure of the 204 players with a market-based projection.
