Efficiency & VerdictThe per-snap value metrics — read these first.12

EPA/playepaPerPlay: Expected Points Added per play in NFL, or PPA per play in CFB, scoped to the active filters.
SuccesssuccessRate: Share of plays that stayed ahead of the down-and-distance success threshold.
Yds/playyardsPerPlay: All-purpose efficiency: total scrimmage yards (rushing + receiving) per touch (carries + receptions). Unlike YPC, it credits the receiving game, so a pass-catching back's number diverges from his yards-per-carry. QBs show pass + sack yards per dropback.
ANY/AanyA: Adjusted Net Yards per Attempt: passing efficiency after sacks, touchdowns, and interceptions.
4Q EPAfourthQuarterEpa: Total EPA in 4th quarter.
YPAypa: Yards Per Attempt — passing yards per dropback attempt.
Cmp%compPct: Completion %. Completions divided by attempts.
CPOEcpoe: Completion Percentage Over Expected: actual completion rate minus model expectation.
Catch%catchRate: Receptions divided by targets. Useful for reliability, but read it with ADOT and target difficulty.
Y/TgtyardsPerTarget: Yards per Target.
YPC (Rec)yardsPerReception: Yards per Reception.
YPC (Rush)ypc: Yards Per Carry (rushing) or Yards Per Catch (receiving).

Fantasy Points (FPTS)Every fantasy-points total, rate, and per-denominator split. Reacts to the active scoring toggle and filters.53

FPTSfpts: Total fantasy points this player created in the active Tape scope. The scoring toggle changes this number, so PPR, half-PPR, standard, and 6-point pass TD can rank players differently.
FPTS/Gfpts_per_game: Fantasy points per qualifying game in this table scope. For coverage, pressure, red-zone, and game-script splits, it totals only those matching plays in each game, then averages the game totals.
FPTS/Snapfpts_per_snap: Fantasy points divided by offensive snaps. Snap counts are charted per season, so this column locks (—) under play-level splits and uses week-scoped snaps inside week windows. Low-snap players can look inflated.
FPTS/Oppfpts_per_opp: Fantasy points per opportunity in the active scope. For QBs this is dropbacks plus designed runs (matching the passing-plus-rushing points on top); for RBs it is carries plus targets; for WR/TE it is targets.
FPOEfpoe: Fantasy points over expected from opportunity-quality modeling. Positive means the player beat expectation. Stays season-scoped under play-level splits — the model is per-week, not per-play.
xFPTS/Gfpts_expected_per_game: Expected fantasy points per game from target, carry, and dropback quality. It estimates opportunity value before the player over- or underperformed it. Stays season-scoped under play-level splits — it cannot be recomputed per play.
FPOE/Gfpoe_per_game: FPOE divided by opportunity-model weeks. Use it as season-level overperformance pace, not as a coverage-specific or pressure-specific split.
Floorfpts_floor: 25th-percentile game in this scope. Think of it as the typical low-end weekly outcome, not the absolute worst game.
Ceilingfpts_ceiling: 75th-percentile game in this scope. Think of it as the common strong-week outcome, not the one-game max.
Medianfpts_median: Middle game in this scope. Half of the player's qualifying games were above this mark and half were below.
Boom%fpts_boom_rate: Share of qualifying games that cleared the weekly top-12 threshold at this position. Higher means more lineup-winning weeks.
Bust%fpts_bust_rate: Share of qualifying games below half of the position median. Lower means fewer weeks that sink a lineup.
Consistencyfpts_consistency: Stability score from game-to-game fantasy volatility. Closer to 1 means the player's weekly output is steadier inside this scope.
L4 Trendfpts_trend_l4: Fantasy points from the last four qualifying games in this scope. It shows recent form after your filters are applied.
L4 Δfpts_delta_l4: Last-four per-game pace minus the full selected-scope per-game pace. Positive means recent filtered games are running hotter.
Team FPTS%fpts_share: Share of the team's fantasy points at this position. It shows how concentrated the fantasy production is around this player.
FPTS/DBfpts_per_dropback: Fantasy points divided by QB dropbacks in the selected scope. Useful for comparing passing efficiency across pressure, coverage, and script filters.
FPTS/Attfpts_per_attempt: Fantasy points divided by pass attempts only. This removes sacks and non-throw dropbacks from the denominator.

GL FPTS/DBfpts_per_gl_dropback: Fantasy points per QB dropback inside the opponent's 5. This is the short-field touchdown lens.
Pass FPTS%fpts_pass_share: Percent of the QB's fantasy points that came from passing. Lower values often mean rushing is carrying more of the profile.
Rush FPTS%fpts_rush_share: Percent of the QB's fantasy points that came from rushing. High values identify dual-threat scoring insulation.
Pass TD FPTSfpts_pass_td_total: Fantasy points credited from this QB's passing touchdowns only. Useful for separating touchdown spike value from yardage and rushing.
Pass Yd FPTSfpts_pass_yd_total: Fantasy points credited from this QB's passing yards only. This isolates volume-driven passing value from touchdowns.
INT FPTSfpts_int_total: Fantasy points lost to interceptions. More negative is worse.
Rush TD FPTSfpts_rush_td_qb: Fantasy points credited from this QB's rushing touchdowns. High values highlight short-yardage and designed-run scoring equity.
Rush Yd FPTSfpts_rush_yd_qb: Fantasy points credited from this QB's rushing yards. This is the weekly floor piece that does not depend on passing touchdowns.
FPTS/Pressfpts_per_pressure_faced: Fantasy points per pressured dropback. Use it to see which QBs keep fantasy value when the pocket breaks down.
FPTS/Touchfpts_per_touch: Fantasy points divided by carries plus receptions. It shows how much each actual touch is worth.
FPTS/Carryfpts_per_carry: Fantasy points scored on the rushing attempts in this table scope, divided by those attempts. It strips out receiving work, and touchdown points are included — short-field splits can run far above a pure yardage rate.
FPTS/Tgtfpts_per_target: Fantasy points divided by receiving targets. For RB/WR/TE, this captures how valuable each target became.
RZ FPTS/Touchfpts_per_rz_touch: Fantasy points per carry or reception inside the opponent's 20. This is the red-zone touch quality view.
GL FPTS/Carryfpts_per_gl_carry: Fantasy points per carry inside the opponent's 5. This isolates goal-line touchdown efficiency.
Rec FPTS%fpts_rec_share_rb: Percent of a RB's fantasy points that came through receiving. Higher values signal a more game-script-proof role.
Rush Yd FPTSfpts_rush_yd_rb: Fantasy points credited from this RB's rushing yards. This isolates ground-game volume and efficiency from receptions and touchdowns.
Rush TD FPTSfpts_rush_td_rb: Fantasy points credited from this RB's rushing touchdowns. High values flag goal-line conversion and touchdown reliance.
Rec Yd FPTSfpts_rec_yd_rb: Fantasy points credited from this RB's receiving yards. This is passing-game yardage value separate from catches and touchdowns.
Rec TD FPTSfpts_rec_td_rb: Fantasy points credited from this RB's receiving touchdowns. Use with target volume to separate repeatable role from touchdown spikes.
FPTS/Routefpts_per_route: Fantasy points divided by routes run. Best receiver efficiency lens when routes and fantasy points share the same scope; locked when the route denominator does not match the split.
FPTS/Catchfpts_per_catch: Fantasy points divided by receptions. High values usually mean explosive catches, touchdowns, or both.
RZ FPTS/Tgtfpts_per_rz_target: Fantasy points per target inside the opponent's 20. This shows how valuable each red-zone look became.
GL FPTS/Tgtfpts_per_gl_target: Fantasy points per target inside the opponent's 5. This is the receiver touchdown-equity lens.
Air FPTS%fpts_air_share: Share of receiving fantasy points from completed air yards. Higher values mean production is coming before the catch, downfield or intermediate.
YAC FPTS%fpts_yac_share: Share of receiving fantasy points from yards after catch. Higher values mean more fantasy value is created with the ball in hand.
Contested FPTS%fpts_contested_share: Locked because current charting does not expose play-level contested-catch fantasy components.
Rec FPTSfpts_rec_total: Fantasy points credited from receptions, including the active scoring format's catch bonus. This isolates catch-volume value from yards and touchdowns.
Rec Yd FPTSfpts_rec_yd_total: Fantasy points credited from receiving yards. This isolates yardage value from receptions, catch bonus, and touchdowns.
Rec TD FPTSfpts_rec_td_total: Fantasy points credited from receiving touchdowns. Use with red-zone and end-zone targets to judge repeatability.
Pair FPTSpair_fpts: Combined fantasy points created by this QB and receiver connection. Use it to judge stack output, not individual value alone.

WR FPTS% (QB throws)wr_fpts_share_when_paired_qb_throws: Receiver's share of fantasy points on throws from this QB. High values mean the receiver is the fantasy engine of that passing connection.
Pair FPTS/Tgtpair_fpts_per_target: Combined pair fantasy points divided by targets. Useful for judging whether the connection turns looks into fantasy value.
Pair FPOEpair_fpoe: Pair fantasy points over expected from opportunity quality. Positive means the connection beat the value expected from its targets and throws.
