Evaluation Evidence
Open and authorized data, normalized by position and kept separate from league scoring.
Athletic shape
67th percentile profile
Every axis compares Riley Nowakowski with historical TE testing records—not with every NFL position.
The profile currently knows Indiana and NFL draft context. Add an authorized college-stat source to compare production, market share, efficiency, and breakout age.
Workout source: nflverse. Percentiles and comparison groups are independent FantasyLeagueIQ calculations; unavailable metrics are omitted rather than estimated.
NFL Draft Capital

Rookie projection evidence
College Explosive Profile
College big-play creation benchmarked against the same-position rookie cohort. It is developmental evidence—not credited as NFL production.
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.

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.
60% 2026 league-scored Sleeper projection + 40% active Dynasty ECR • athlete profile -1.5% (position athletic percentile 67, NFL draft pick 169, college explosive index 61.2 (rookie position #30)). Athletic and draft inputs are supporting evidence—not a replacement for current projections, ECR, production, availability, or the selected league’s rules.
