RB opportunity/g combines carries and targets. WR and TE show targets/g. QB opportunity/g shows pass attempts.
- Rank
- The row's order when the table is sorted by its primary measure.Why it matters: It makes the strongest or largest values quick to find.
- Player
- The player attached to the usage row.Why it matters: It identifies whose opportunity or production is being measured.
- Usage xPPR/g
- Expected PPR per game from targets, carries, air yards, red-zone opportunities, end-zone targets, and QB attempts.Why it matters: It summarizes backward-looking opportunity without treating recent fantasy points as a forecast.
- Opportunity/g
- Per-game pass attempts for QBs, carries plus targets for RBs, and targets for WRs and TEs.Why it matters: It shows the role volume underlying usage xPPR per game.
- Recent PPR/g

- Rank
- The row's order when the table is sorted by its primary measure.Why it matters: It makes the strongest or largest values quick to find.
- Player
- The player attached to the usage row.Why it matters: It identifies whose opportunity or production is being measured.
- Carries
- Recorded rushing attempts by the player.Why it matters: Carries are the starting opportunity for rushing yards and rushing scores.
- Box sample
- RB carries with a positive defenders-in-box count in FTN charting. FTN coverage begins in 2022.Why it matters: It shows the denominator behind the displayed light- and heavy-box rates.
- Light box
- Share of the valid FTN-charted box sample with six or fewer defenders in the box.Why it matters: It describes how often a runner faced a lighter defensive front; only RBs with at least 25 total carries are shown.
- Heavy box
- Share of the valid FTN-charted box sample with eight or more defenders in the box; when FTN is unavailable, the row uses NGS's precomputed 8+ defender share.Why it matters: It describes how often the defense committed an extra box defender. Seven-defender boxes are neutral, so light and heavy rates need not total 100%.
- RYOE
- NGS rush yards over expected: actual rushing yards minus expected rushing yards over the included NGS attempts.Why it matters: Positive values mean the runner gained more than the NGS expectation for those attempts; negative values mean less.
- RYOE / att
- NGS's precomputed rush yards over expected per attempt, attempt-weighted across the included weekly rows.Why it matters: The per-attempt rate makes runners with different workloads easier to compare while remaining descriptive, not predictive.
Light boxes have six or fewer defenders; heavy boxes have eight or more. Seven-man boxes are neutral, so the rates do not need to total 100%.
