PlayerRankings.
What it's based on
How many points does he add each game?
Every pass, run and target, worth the points it added, adjusted for how good the defense was. Compared with an average player at the same position, so +3.00 means about 3 points a game better than average. Small samples are pulled toward average, so a few big plays can't outrank a full season.
Every player is ranked against qualified players at his position ("#12 of 184 RBs · Top 7%"). 100% computer, updated every morning.

Tap a column name to sort. Hover a column name for what it means.
Adjusted for opponents
Torching a bad defense counts less than doing it against a great one. Every play is adjusted for the defense (or offense) on the other side.
Who qualifies
Quarterbacks need 60 dropbacks, running backs 40 carries, receivers and tight ends 20 targets, and defenders 3 games with real involvement.
What it can't see
Public play-by-play shows who threw, ran, caught and made a play, but not blocking or pass coverage. Offensive linemen aren't rated, and defensive backs are rated on the plays they make.
