Final Results

How SPR is calculated

SPR combines production, per-game production, efficiency, and ball security. Production metrics are scaled from 0 to 100 relative to the qualified position leader, preserving the size of the gap between players. Efficiency and fumble avoidance use position-relative percentiles.

  • Yards from scrimmage (35%): Total rushing and receiving production.
  • Total touchdowns (15%): Total rushing and receiving touchdowns.
  • Total first downs (10%): Total rushing and receiving first downs.
  • Yards from scrimmage per game (15%): Rewards producing yardage in fewer games.
  • Touchdowns per game (5%): Rewards scoring production per appearance.
  • First downs per game (5%): Rewards drive-extending production per appearance.
  • Yards per touch (10%): Scrimmage efficiency on carries and receptions.
  • Fumble avoidance (5%): Rewards fewer fumbles per 100 touches.

Qualification: 6 touches per scheduled game for RB, 3 for WR, and 2 for TE.
