Every team's usage
Target distribution, backfield split and red-zone share for all 32 teams.
How it's built
Play-by-play, not box scores
Usage is counted play by play from nflverse's public NFL data: every target, carry and dropback, and where on the field it started.
Checked against the official stats
Before publication, selected player-game statistics are reconciled with nflverse's weekly stats. The current report: 2,099 player-games checked, 0 mismatches. See methodology for the scope of these checks.
Estimates are labeled
Expected points are an FFO model estimate of what the same usage has usually scored. They describe usage; they are never presented as a forecast.
