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.

College explosive history is not built yet

An administrator can build the current rookie class once in FantasyLeagueIQ → Player Data. The results then populate every matched rookie profile.

The college index remains league-neutral; league rules affect projected fantasy value separately.
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.

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
70C+

67% scoring-floor hit rate • 46% workload stability

Dynasty dependability
76B

88% 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.

NFL production supplied by sleeper. 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.

How this affects value

60% 2026 league-scored Sleeper projection + 40% active Dynasty ECR • athlete profile +3.5% (NFL draft pick 39, career explosive index 83.3 (position #23)). Athletic and draft inputs are supporting evidence—not a replacement for current projections, ECR, production, availability, or the selected league’s rules.
