What the Player Index is
The Player Index ranks every FBS and FCS player within his own position: quarterbacks against quarterbacks, receivers against receivers, and so on. Each position is judged on the measures that matter for it, such as efficiency, volume, explosive plays and success rate for a running back, or pressure and havoc plays for a pass rusher.
How it is built
Each measure is compared with every qualified FBS player at the same position, then the measures are weighted and combined into one score. Production against strong opponents counts for more than the same production against weak ones, so a big day against a top defense moves a player further than the same day against a struggling one. Players need enough snaps, carries, targets or dropbacks to qualify.
How to use it
Pick a position, then filter by division, conference or transfers. Tap any player to see his card, and open his story for the full season, game by game. The Method page lists every measure and weight, and the full list can be downloaded as a spreadsheet file.
