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.
Gordon scores 9.5 standard points a game, RB21 of 109 RBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 1.9 and 15.8; 3 boom weeks (12+) and 2 busts (under 5). This week the Lions allow the 4th-fewest standard points to RBs, 14.2 a game.
Gordon scores 9.9 half-PPR points a game, RB25 of 109 RBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 1.9 and 16.4; 2 boom weeks (16+) and 2 busts (under 6.5). This week the Lions allow the 4th-fewest half-PPR points to RBs, 16.2 a game.
Gordon scores 10.3 PPR points a game, RB30 of 109 RBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 1.9 and 16.8; 0 boom weeks (20+) and 3 busts (under 8). This week the Lions allow the 4th-fewest PPR points to RBs, 18.2 a game.
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 RB24 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
Motion is part of the plan: 87% of his touches come with pre-snap movement (league 60%). The passing game barely involves him: 9% of his touches are targets (league 18%). His share of the team's touches is 28%: on third down it falls to 14%; inside the 20 it climbs to 42%. In short yardage he is the call: 35% of the team's touches with two or fewer to go (his overall share is 28%).
How this is measured
Every trait is a share of his own touches, so volume does not move it. The marker is him among the league's qualifying backs; 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.
Gordon II's -4.7 EPA is 34th of 70 backs. The biggest share comes after the catch (+5.4, 31st percentile per target). Air yards cost him more than most (-7.1, 18th percentile).
career -0.16 over 2025 · the best of his 2 seasons so far
How this is measured
Every carry and target this season, split by what happened. Catches divide at the catch: the yards in the air and what came after. Runs are per carry, the receiving parts per target. The percentile is him among the qualifying backs, 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 30 touches.

Touches are climbing: 22 a game over his last three against 14.3 for the season. The yards are edging up with it: 87 a game lately against 60. 5 straight games above a starter's median in scrimmage yds.
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 3rd-toughest slate vs the run: his opponents rank 11.7 of 32 on average (league middle 15.9). Ahead: 1 of his next 10 is top-10 vs the run and 3 are bottom-10, starting with the Lions (13th) in Week 9.
