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 WR24 in a 12-team league. The format you pick is remembered on this device.

Motion is part of the plan: 76% of his targets come with pre-snap movement (league 53%). He wins before the catch rather than after it: 14% of his yards come after the catch (league 30%). His share of the team's targets is 9%: on third down it holds at 13%; inside the 20 it falls to 4%. Ricky is a downfield target: 31% of his targets travel 20 yards or more, against 17% for the league's receivers.

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 wide receivers; 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.
