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.
Mariota scores 11.4 standard points a game, QB30 of 35 QBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 3.7 and 18.7; 0 boom weeks (25+) and 5 busts (under 12).
Mariota scores 11.4 half-PPR points a game, QB30 of 35 QBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 3.7 and 18.7; 0 boom weeks (25+) and 5 busts (under 12).

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 QB12 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
He pushes the ball downfield: 18% of his attempts travel 20 yards or more (league 11%). A shotgun offense: 96% of his dropbacks come from the gun (league 84%). The RPO is part of his offense: 5% of his dropbacks (league 2%).
How this is measured
Every trait is a share of his own dropbacks, so volume does not move it. The marker is him among the league's qualifying quarterbacks; 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.
Mariota's +2.8 EPA is 32nd of 56 quarterbacks. The biggest share comes after the catch (+79.9, 13th percentile per dropback). His air yards rank in the 92nd percentile (+62.8). Incompletions cost him more than most (-78.4, 19th percentile).
career +0.03 over 2015–2022 · his 6th best of 7
How this is measured
Every dropback and run this season, split by what happened. Completions divide at the catch: the yards in the air, and his credited share of what came after (nflverse's air EPA and QB EPA). Per dropback counts scrambles as dropbacks. The percentile is him among the qualifying quarterbacks, 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 50 attempts.
He throws intermediate right 1.7× as often as the league (13% of his attempts against 8%) and gains +0.06 EPA a throw there.
How this is measured
Every pass attempt 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 throws show no EPA.

Dropbacks are slipping: 13.7 a game over his last three against 22.1 for the season. 3 straight games below a starter's median in dropbacks.
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 4th-toughest slate vs the pass: his opponents rank 14.5 of 32 on average (league middle 16.7).
