1.0 impact creditsAbout 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.

Dependability Index
Two lenses, because weekly trust and dynasty durability are different questions.
100% scoring-floor hit rate • 93% workload stability
69% 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.
2026 Production & Efficiency
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.
FLIQ value signal • projection outlook, market consensus, athletic and explosive profile, league and roster context. Athletic and draft inputs are supporting evidence—not a replacement for current projections, market consensus, production, availability, or the selected league’s rules.
