Rookie projection evidence
College Explosive Profile
College play-by-play has not been synchronized for this rookie yet. Missing evidence is shown as pending, never as a zero.
An administrator can build the current rookie class once in FantasyLeagueIQ → Player Data. The results then populate every matched rookie profile.
How the college explosive profile affects rookie value
The model uses the same repeatable long-play framework as the NFL profile but creates a separate same-position college cohort. It blends impact per opportunity, impact per game, cohort production share, long-touchdown rate, and longest gain, then weights peak and recent college seasons. The result can make only a small, capped dynasty adjustment for rookies and never replaces draft capital, projections, ECR, role, or availability. Source: cfbfastR SportsDataverse play-by-play.
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.
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.
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.

What these charts show
Fantasy points use the selected league’s scoring rules. Opportunity is attempts plus carries for quarterbacks and carries plus targets for running backs, receivers, and tight ends. Efficiency is completion percentage for quarterbacks and scrimmage yards per touch for other offensive positions.
Availability + repeatability
Dependability Index
Two lenses, because weekly trust and dynasty durability are different questions.
100% scoring-floor hit rate • 0% workload stability
18% three-year game availability • 1 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.
2025 Production & Efficiency
NFL production supplied by sleeper. Same-position ranks include qualified players from the selected season. Volume ranks require 50 pass attempts; rate ranks require 100. Fantasy output elsewhere on this page is recalculated with standard PPR scoring.
Recent production fallback • athlete profile -3.2% (NFL draft pick 197). Athletic and draft inputs are supporting evidence—not a replacement for current projections, ECR, production, availability, or the selected league’s rules.
