Scouting report
Why it matters. Knowing the one or two things a player does best, and where he is ordinary, says more than any single total. Carsyn Baker's strongest measure is touchdowns per game at 0.4, 151st of 299 (the average is 0.5). His weakest is rush yards per game at 21, 287th of 299 (the average is 49).
Season production
Why it matters. Totals reward staying healthy and getting the ball; per-game numbers show how much he really carries each week. His rush yards per game, 21, ranks 287th among 299 ranked running backs.
Against every running back
Why it matters. Splitting the measures into how much, how well and how many big plays shows what kind of running back he is. Among ranked running backs he sits, on average, in the 6th percentile for volume, 29th for efficiency and 37th for impact.
The season, game by game
Why it matters. A season average can hide a player who is great one week and absent the next; game by game shows how dependable he is. Over 7 games, Carsyn Baker's best came in week 1 against Missouri State and his quietest in week 5 against Arkansas.
When it matters
Why it matters. Plenty of players produce in easy situations; the ones who keep it up on third down and against good teams are the ones coaches trust.
Where he does his damage
Why it matters. Where and how a player makes his plays shows how his team uses him and what a defense has to take away.
National and conference
Why it matters. A national rank shows how a player stacks up beyond his own league, where the competition can be very different. Carsyn Baker is 274th of 299 FBS running backs and 34th of 35 in the SEC. Next up nationally is Julius Gillick of Fresno State, 0.02 ahead on the index.
Running backs like him
Why it matters. Comparing a player with his closest statistical matches puts his season in context beyond the rankings. His closest match this season is Braylen Russell of Arkansas.
