About this rating
The Explosive Index summarizes how a player’s big-play production compares with others at the same position. FantasyLeagueIQ evaluates verified NFL play-by-play evidence and keeps the underlying NFL rating separate from league-specific scoring. When a league is connected, its scoring settings are applied to projections and fantasy value so the analysis reflects that league without changing the player’s core profile. Data sources: nflverse and synchronized league settings.

What these charts show
These charts summarize production, opportunity, and efficiency across recorded games. When a league is connected, fantasy output reflects that league’s scoring settings; otherwise a standard scoring context is used. The comparisons are designed to make a player’s recent performance easier to interpret.

About dependability
The Dependability Index summarizes availability and consistency across short- and long-term contexts. Weekly and dynasty views answer different reliability questions and are evaluated separately. Connected-league scoring may personalize the weekly context. The rating describes reliability, not a player’s ceiling.
