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. Darrion Dupree's strongest measure is stuffed runs at 12%, 75th of 299 (the average is 16%). His weakest is rush success rate at 41%, 275th of 299 (the average is 50%).
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, 31, ranks 224th 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 42nd percentile for volume, 41st for efficiency and 38th 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 8 games, Darrion Dupree's best came in week 4 at Penn State and his quietest in week 10 against Rutgers.
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. Darrion Dupree is 217th of 299 FBS running backs and 33rd of 42 in the Big Ten. Next up nationally is Bryson Donelson of Fresno State, 0.01 ahead on the index.
Career
Why it matters. Past seasons show whether this year is a breakout, a steady climb or a step back. This is his best season by the Player Index so far, out of 3 we have.
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 Micah Welch of Colorado.
