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
61C

100% scoring-floor hit rate • 0% workload stability

Dynasty dependability
71C+

51% 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.
