Methodology and data boundary
These are measured 2025 regular-season splits, not 2026 projections. Player rows show the current 2026 team while preserving the 2025 measured team when it differs. Offense rows describe the 2025 team that generated the routes. Defensive coverage usage sums player coverage snaps, so it is a consistent unit tendency proxy rather than a literal play count. Every ranking is percentile-relative to its qualified population.
