The Rate Sheet

Proven questions, answered with receipts

Every rate below is computed from regular-season weekly stats — played games only, finish ranks rescored per format — and every one opens in the builder so you can inspect each qualifying player-season yourself.

How often does a wide receiver averaging nine or more targets per game finish Top-12?

Across the 2009 through 2025 seasons, 123 of 177 qualifying wide receiver player-seasons finished Top-12 in PPR — a 70 percent rate. Per-target questions clamp to 2009 because that is where weekly target data becomes reliable, and per-game thresholds count only played games.

How often does a wide receiver with 140 or more targets finish Top-12?

From 2009 through 2025, 128 of 167 wide receiver player-seasons with at least 140 targets finished Top-12 in PPR — 77 percent. Raw target volume at that level has been one of the safest WR bets of the last two decades.

A rookie wide receiver earns a twenty percent target share. How often is he Top-12 the FOLLOWING year?

Of the rookie wide receiver seasons from 2009 through 2024 that commanded a twenty percent target share, 10 of 45 player-seasons across 16 seasons finished Top-12 in PPR the following year — 22 percent. A rookie target share is a real signal, but a year-two league-winner leap is far from automatic.

How often does a rookie tight end finish Top-12 at the position?

From 1999 through 2025, 14 of 193 rookie tight end player-seasons with at least eight games played finished Top-12 — 7 percent. That is the rookie-TE wall, quantified: drafting a first-year tight end for immediate production has failed roughly thirteen times out of fourteen for a quarter century.

A running back turns twenty-eight and still shoulders 250 carries. How often is he Top-12 the next year?

Of the age-28-or-older running back seasons from 1999 through 2024 with at least 250 carries, 15 of 46 player-seasons across 21 seasons finished Top-12 in PPR the following year — 33 percent. Vanishing from the league counts as a miss, so there is no survivorship trim in that number.

A running back logs 350 touches. How often does he finish Top-12 the following year?

From 1999 through 2024, 59 of 111 such player-seasons across 25 seasons came back Top-12 in PPR — 53 percent. The workload-collapse narrative is real but overstated: a true workhorse season has been closer to a coin flip than a cliff.

How often does a running back playing seventy percent of the snaps finish Top-12?

From 2013 through 2025 — snap counts are reliable from 2013 forward — 59 of 87 running back player-seasons at a seventy percent offensive snap share finished Top-12 in PPR: 68 percent. Snap share remains the cleanest single usage signal for backs.

How often does a quarterback who rushes for 500 yards finish Top-5?

From 1999 through 2025, 28 of 56 quarterback player-seasons with five hundred rushing yards finished Top-5 — exactly 50 percent. Rushing volume is the single biggest cheat code at the position, and it has been for over two decades.

How often does a tight end with an eighteen percent target share finish Top-6?

From 2009 through 2025, 89 of 197 tight end player-seasons at an eighteen percent target share finished Top-6 in PPR — 45 percent. Target share is the gate for elite tight end production, but it is a coin flip, not a guarantee.

How often does a Top-12 wide receiver repeat Top-12 the following year?

From 1999 through 2024, 130 of 313 Top-12 PPR wide receiver player-seasons across 26 seasons repeated the following year — 42 percent. More than half of every WR1 class gets replaced annually.

How often does a Top-5 quarterback repeat Top-5 the following year?

From 1999 through 2024, 45 of 130 Top-5 quarterback player-seasons across 26 seasons repeated — 35 percent. Paying a premium for last year's elite QB finish has missed roughly two times in three for a quarter century.
