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.
Wilson scores 8.3 standard points a game, not enough games to rank yet. Most weeks land between 0.3 and 11.1; 1 boom week (25+) and 5 busts (under 12).
Wilson scores 8.3 half-PPR points a game, not enough games to rank yet. Most weeks land between 0.3 and 11.1; 1 boom week (25+) and 5 busts (under 12).
Wilson scores 8.3 PPR points a game, not enough games to rank yet. Most weeks land between 0.3 and 11.1; 1 boom week (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: 16% of his attempts travel 20 yards or more (league 11%). The blitz gets to him: -0.24 EPA a dropback when blitzed against not (league +0.05). He works the sidelines: 15% of his attempts go between the numbers (league 20%).
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.
Wilson's -17.0 EPA is 42nd of 56 quarterbacks. The biggest share comes after the catch (+43.8, 15th percentile per dropback). Incompletions cost him more than most (-51.7, 1st percentile).
career +0.09 over 2014–2024 · the lowest of his 12 seasons
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 deep right 1.6× as often as the league (8% of his attempts against 5%) and gains +0.89 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: 4 a game over his last three against 21.5 for the season. The role is shrinking, and the yards with it (18 against 139). 4 straight games below a starter's median in pass yards. EPA / dropback is falling too: -0.54 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 32nd-toughest slate vs the pass: his opponents rank 18.8 of 32 on average (league middle 16.7).
