No single metric tells the entire story.
Start With Opportunity
Metrics such as target share and air yards help establish how much opportunity a player is receiving before evaluating efficiency.
Evaluate Efficiency
EPA and Success Rate provide additional context about how efficiently players and offenses turn opportunities into productive plays.
Check the Environment
Defensive matchups, pressure, and pace can change the environment surrounding an otherwise strong offensive opportunity.
Put It Together
The strongest analysis comes from combining multiple signals rather than relying on one leaderboard in isolation.
