2024 ROLE EVIDENCE
Defensive Snap Count & Role
Playing time across defensive and special-teams snaps.
Recent weekly role
Snap counts: nflverse / Pro Football Reference. FantasyLeagueIQ classifies defensive roles from observed snap share and uses snaps as role context, not an automatic player-value bonus.
Current Sleeper availability
Injury & Availability
Surgery
Current availability is supplied by Sleeper’s player directory and is not a complete medical history. Sleeper’s documented player feed supplies status and practice context, not article headlines. No active designation does not mean the player has no prior injuries.

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.
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.
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.
Availability + repeatability
Dependability Index
Two lenses, because weekly trust and dynasty durability are different questions.
100% scoring-floor hit rate • 0% workload stability
92% three-year game availability • 3 seasons of evidence
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.
2024 Production & Efficiency
NFL production supplied by nflverse. Same-position ranks include qualified players from the selected season. Volume ranks require 20 touches; yards per touch requires 50. Fantasy output elsewhere on this page is recalculated with standard PPR scoring.
FLIQ value signal • available player evidence, league and roster context. Athletic and draft inputs are supporting evidence—not a replacement for current projections, market consensus, production, availability, or the selected league’s rules.
