Production Lab

Who is producing, who is heating up, who is easy to score on.

Season leaders, last-5 recent form, and positional defense ranks — all computed from real nflverse player-week rows. Settled, historical facts, not forecasts.

Raw data (JSON)

How we read it

PPR/G & 5g: Per-game PPR over the season, and over the last 5 games. Δ = recent form minus season pace.Known weakness: Averages hide volatility — a 15 PPR/G can be 15-15-15 or 30-0-15. Read with Boom/Bust.Decision use: Roster and start/sit context. Not a projection of next week.
Boom% / Bust%: Share of games at or above a startable ceiling (≥20) and at or below a floor (≤10) — the real distribution.Known weakness: Thresholds are PPR-format choices, not laws; small samples make these rates jumpy.Decision use: Volatility read for lineup risk. Pair with the Stab grade before trusting it.
Stab: Stat Stability Grade: ● 10+ games, ◐ 6–9, ○ under 6.Known weakness: Sample-size only — it does not model variance, opponent quality, or role changes.Decision use: A gate on every other column: thin grade, thin trust.
WOPR & target share: Season averages of the weekly weighted opportunity rating (1.5·target share + 0.7·air-yards share) and team target share — the role behind the points.Known weakness: Season averages lag role changes — a trade or injury redraws the role faster than the average moves.Decision use: Opportunity context: whether production is backed by role, or running ahead of it.
