Performance Rating

Benchmarks a player's per-game stats against position-specific thresholds using 2025 data.

Category: General · Status: Active

What it measures

Performance Rating evaluates raw fantasy production by comparing actual per-game statistics to position-specific thresholds. Each position uses tuned stat weights (e.g. QB: pass yards 30%, pass TDs 25%, rush yards 15%, PPG 20%, TD:INT 10%). Carries 65% weight in the Overall Rating.

Inputs

• Per-game stats (2025): Passing, rushing, and receiving yards and touchdowns per game from the current season.
• Position-specific thresholds: QB: 275 pass YPG/2.5 TDs/35 rush YPG/24 PPG, RB: 80 rush YPG/0.8 TDs/4.5 rec/40 rec YPG/20 PPG, WR: 5 rec/70 rec YPG/0.35 TDs/16 PPG, TE: 4.5 rec/45 rec YPG/0.35 TDs/13 PPG.
• Position-tuned stat weights: Each stat category is weighted differently per position to reflect what drives fantasy value at that role.

Scale

• 90 – 99: Projected to produce at historically elite levels for the position.
• 70 – 89: Solid but not exceptional production relative to positional leaders.
• 50 – 69: Average production - replacement-level territory at premium positions.
• Below 50: Below-average projection; likely a backup or limited contributor.

How to use it

• Use Performance Rating to identify the highest-ceiling players at each position.
• A player with a 92 Performance Rating but 55 Availability Rating is a high-ceiling, high-risk play.
• Compare Performance Ratings within a position group to find tier breaks in projected output.

Limitations

• Isolates pure production from risk factors - does not penalize injury-prone or inconsistent players.
• Elite thresholds are based on recent history and may not reflect rule changes or league trends.
• Scoring format differences (standard vs. PPR) can shift relative Performance Ratings.
