How the grade works

The grade is college production only: share of the team's targets or touches, yards per game, how early he became a focal point, efficiency and size, weighted by how well each predicted NFL fantasy production. It is a percentile against every QB, RB, WR and TE drafted 2011–2023: an 85 out-produced 85% of them in college.

Its record, tested on each class held out of its own fit: QB 13.2 vs 4.3 early PPR per game for the top and bottom quarter of grades; RB 11.3 vs 5.6 early PPR per game for the top and bottom quarter of grades; WR 9.7 vs 5 early PPR per game for the top and bottom quarter of grades; TE 6.3 vs 3.1 early PPR per game for the top and bottom quarter of grades. Draft position is the stronger signal (it carries the scouting), so treat this as the read that exists before the draft does.

Eligibility is three years out of high school, approximated by class year: sophomores are this class. Redshirts aren't marked in the data, so some players belong a year earlier. Grades move with the 2026 season, which is still being played.
