Big-play ability + league scoring

Explosive Play Profile

This player’s play-by-play analysis has not been built yet. The section remains visible so missing evidence is never mistaken for a zero score.

NFL Explosive IndexAnalysis pending
Explosive history is not built yet

An administrator can start the complete recent-history build once in FantasyLeagueIQ → Player Data. It then populates every offensive player profile; league members do not need to sync players individually.

Selected league bonus overlayNo explicit big-play bonuses
Long gains still earn normal yardage and touchdown points.
How the explosive profile and league overlay work

The NFL Explosive Index compares a player only with the same position. Its season model blends impact per opportunity, impact per game, positional share, long-touchdown rate, and longest gain; the career index blends 50% peak season, 30% recent three-season form, and 20% career share percentile. The league overlay reads synchronized Sleeper scoring for long-play and yardage-threshold bonuses. Those rules affect league-scored projections and fantasy value without rewriting the player’s league-neutral NFL explosiveness. Source: nflverse play-by-play and Sleeper league settings.

Availability + repeatability

Dependability Index

Two lenses, because weekly trust and dynasty durability are different questions.

Weekly dependability
65C+

86% scoring-floor hit rate • 73% workload stability

Dynasty dependability
73C+

59% three-year game availability • 3 seasons of evidence

How dependability is calculated

Weekly dependability blends recorded-game availability, how often the player clears 60% of his median fantasy output, and stability of attempts, carries, and targets. Dynasty dependability emphasizes three-year game availability and repeat seasons, with a small age-context adjustment. Scores use PPR scoring and do not treat ceiling as reliability.

How this affects value

60% 2026 league-scored Sleeper projection + 40% active Dynasty ECR. Athletic and draft inputs are supporting evidence—not a replacement for current projections, ECR, production, availability, or the selected league’s rules.
