NFL Player Stats

Reading the leaderboards

Pick a position, a season and a window. Rank (#) is EPA per play for quarterbacks and yards for running backs, receivers and tight ends, among qualified players. Click any column to sort, or a player to open his profile. Display → Show → Percentiles swaps every value for its percentile among qualified players at the position (100 = best). Green is better and brick-red is worse; greyed cells are below that stat's minimum sample.

Qualified means enough volume for the window: QB: 14 dropbacks per team game; RB: 6 carries per team game; WR: 4 targets per team game; TE: 3 targets per team game, times the number of games teams have played in that window. Use Show to include everyone or set your own minimum. On a phone, pick the stat to rank by from the Stat menu.

Windows. Season is every regular-season game so far. Last 8 / 5 / 3 are each player's own most recent games played, and Custom weeks is any range you choose. Every number is recomputed from the plays themselves, never averaged from per-game rates. Season and Last 5 are free; Last 8, Last 3 and custom ranges are part of Analytics.

Shares (target share, air-yard share, red-zone target share) are measured against his team's totals in the games he played, so a player traded mid-season is measured against each team for his games there. QB scrambles count as dropbacks, not carries. EPA is raw: not adjusted for opponents.
