Each figure is the average of the projection sources that carry the player this week: StatChasers, Sleeper, ESPN, numberFire, FFToday and the betting markets (sportsbook player props). Colston Loveland is projected by 4 of them and Tony Pollard by 5.
A source with no number for a player is left out of the average rather than counted as a zero.
