NFL Special Teams Report: NFL Week 8

The NFL Week 8 Special Teams Report highlights standout performances from gunners, vise players, long snappers and kick coverage and return units. Dylan Laube's kickoff return touchdown earns play of the week honors, while Buffalo players lead several special teams categories. PFF grades identify top contributors, including Denver's JL Skinner and Nate Adkins on the kick return unit.

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.

Weekly dependability
54D

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

Dynasty dependability
77B

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.

How this affects value
