NEW — Advanced metrics: EPA, DVOA, WPA, PFF grades & more

📊 NFL Analytics

The advanced metrics separating good from great

📈

EPA

Expected Points Added

Efficiency

Measures how many points a play adds above expectation. A 5-yard gain on 3rd-and-4 has much higher EPA than a 5-yard gain on 3rd-and-20.

📏 Real Example

A QB with +0.25 EPA/play is elite. Below 0 means you're hurting your team.

💡 Why It Matters

Box score yards don't tell the full story. A 3-yard TD run and a 3-yard loss on 3rd-and-2 both show '3 yards' — EPA captures the difference.

🧠 Advanced Tip

The best analysts combine multiple metrics — no single stat tells the whole story. Use EPA for play-by-play efficiency, DVOA for schedule-adjusted team quality, and PFF grades for positions where stats are hard to capture (like offensive line).
