How this is measured
Each bar is the league at his position; the marker is him. Right is better, the dashed line is the median. Ranks are out of the qualifying pool, ties shown as T-, and move every week as the pool changes.
Arroyo scores 1.7 standard points a game, TE56 of 108 TEs with enough games. Most weeks land between 0.0 and 2.7; 0 boom weeks (9+) and 10 busts (under 3).
Arroyo scores 2.3 half-PPR points a game, TE57 of 108 TEs with enough games. Most weeks land between 0.0 and 4.2; 0 boom weeks (12+) and 9 busts (under 4).
Arroyo scores 2.8 PPR points a game, TE57 of 108 TEs with enough games. Most weeks land between 0.0 and 5.8; 0 boom weeks (15+) and 9 busts (under 5).
How this is measured
Fantasy points are nflverse's standard and full-PPR scoring (6 points for a rushing or receiving touchdown, 4 for a passing touchdown, minus 2 for an interception or a lost fumble); half PPR is the average of the two. Ranks are points a game among players at his position with at least half the most games played. Most weeks is his 20th to 80th percentile game. Bars are green on a boom week and red on a bust; the dashed line is the starter line, the points a game of the TE12 in a 12-team league. The format you pick is remembered on this device.
How he's usedhis fingerprint, where the ball finds him and when
Elijah is a downfield target: 19% of his targets travel 20 yards or more, against 5% for the league's receivers. Screens are not part of his role: 0% of his targets (league 5%). His share of the team's targets is 5%: on third down it holds at 5%; inside the 20 it holds at 6%. Motion is part of the plan: 65% of his targets come with pre-snap movement (league 56%).
How this is measured
Every trait is a share of his own targets, so volume does not move it. The marker is him among the league's qualifying tight ends; the dashed line is the median. Styles are not grades: a high or low percentile is a description, not a verdict. Play action, screen, RPO, motion and blitz flags come from FTN charting and read low in a week it has not published.
Arroyo's -16.2 EPA is 72nd of 72 tight ends. The biggest share comes after the catch (+6.7, 12th percentile per target). Interceptions cost him more than most (-16.2, 1st percentile).
How this is measured
Every target this season, split by what happened. Catches divide at the catch: the yards in the air and what came after. The percentile is him among the qualifying tight ends, higher is better, so a cost smaller than most ranks high. The parts add up to the totals above; the career strip counts seasons with at least 15 targets.
He is targeted short left 1.5× as often as the league (27% of his targets against 18%) and gains +0.08 EPA a target there.
How this is measured
Every target with a charted depth and direction this season; sacks and throws with no charted direction are left out. Left and right are as the offense sees the field. Cells with fewer than three targets show no EPA.

Targets are steady: 1.3 a game over his last three against 2 for the season. 6 straight games below a starter's median in targets. Week 14 was his season low in yards. EPA / target is falling too: -1.90 over the last three.
How this is measured
Bars are his week. The shaded band is the league's middle half at his position, every qualifying player-game this season, and the dashed line is its median. The solid line is his trailing three games. An × on the baseline is a game his team played without him; a dotted tick is the bye.
He has faced the 17th-toughest slate vs TE: his opponents rank 16.2 of 32 on average (league middle 16.3).
