Podcast1111: Market Score's Most Interesting Projections
Play the episode audio

From the episode

market score is looking at previous season inputs... market score focuses pretty heavily on receiving metrics at running back. And Barkley hasn't had the most robust volume profile as a receiver in Philly... his low yards per out run was a red flag entering this year. So in the end, Barkley's market score leaves him at like RB10. But then his market score comp projections equate to RB13... it is a little scary that Saquon has just one comp in his top 10 above 18 PPR points per game.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Barkley's market score comps project RB13 with scary ceiling; only one top-10 comp above 18 PPR PPG.

Market score comp projections place Barkley at RB13, worse than his regular market score ranking of RB10. Top comp is DeMarco Murray's 2017 (split backfield with Derrick Henry, 19.1 PPR PPG), but only one comp in top 10 scores above 18 PPR PPG. Zachariason notes market score focuses heavily on receiving metrics; Barkley's low yards per out run last season and limited receiving volume in Philly are red flags. Zachariason is neutral on Barkley overall but acknowledges market score is slightly low on him.
