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

From the episode

George Pickens ranks ahead of CeeDee Lamb in market score comp projection... Lamb is the wide receiver 6, Pickens is the wide receiver 13... Lamb's being dragged down a little bit by year 10 Jordy Nelson, who scored just 9.2 PPR points per game... Lamb had three comps lower than that mark. And I think from a value perspective in your draft, that's kind of how I'm viewing these two players.

STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Lamb projects slightly behind Pickens via market score comps; scarier floor despite ceiling upside.

Market score comp projections place CeeDee Lamb slightly behind George Pickens (difference ~0.7 PPR PPG) despite higher ADP; regular market scores are 72 for Lamb (WR6) vs 65 for Pickens (WR13). Lamb's comps include 2023 Stefan Diggs (16.1 PPR PPG), 2022 Diggs (19.6 PPR PPG), and year-six Tyreek Hill (18.5 PPR PPG), but also year-10 Jordy Nelson (9.2 PPR PPG, third-highest comp). Lamb has worse floor comps than Pickens; three comps lower than Pickens' worst (Des Bryant 12.1 PPR PPG). Zachariason prefers Pickens at his price due to opportunity cost and scarier floor for Lamb, but not fading either in Dallas.
