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
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.

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.
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
63% 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.
2023 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.
