How this works
Shares are the player’s targets or carries divided by the team total for the same weeks. Pace is the average seconds between snaps on the same drive in neutral situations; neutral pass rate counts plays while the game is competitive, so it reflects the play-caller’s preference rather than the score. EPA per play is the average expected points added (nflverse model).
The depth chart shows each source’s latest snapshot with its time, nflverse first. Fantasy points allowed sum what every opposing QB, RB, WR and TE scored, divided by games played.
