Unit briefing

What the 2025 unit charting says about this roster, written from the snap-weighted grades, national ranks, and returning-snap shares below. Measured history, not a 2026 forecast.

The 2025 charting says the roster's best unit was the quarterback (86.0, 8th of 136) and its weakest was the pass rush (59.6, 134th of 136). The biggest carryover risk is the quarterback: it graded 86.0 but returns only 0.0% of its snaps. 3 of 8 graded units return less than a quarter of their 2025 snaps.

Quarterback

Graded 86.0 in 2025, a top-10-percent unit nationally (8th of 136), and was effectively rebuilt: 0.0% of its snaps are back for 2026. Top grader Brendan Sorsby (86.3 grade on 400 snaps) is not matched to the 2026 roster.

Pass protection

Graded 66.6 in 2025, an upper-half unit (66th of 136), and returns a stable core: 56.0% of its snaps are back for 2026. Evan Tengesdahl (77.7 grade on 381 snaps) is back to lead the group.

Run blocking

Graded 64.4 in 2025, a top-quartile unit (21st of 136), and was heavily reshuffled: 40.0% of its snaps are back for 2026. Evan Tengesdahl (88.9 grade on 294 snaps) is back to lead the group.

Receiving corps

Graded 66.1 in 2025, an upper-half unit (42nd of 136), and was effectively rebuilt: 11.0% of its snaps are back for 2026. Top grader Cyrus Allen (75.6 grade on 276 snaps) is not matched to the 2026 roster.

Rush offense

Graded 80.2 in 2025, a top-quartile unit (21st of 136), and was effectively rebuilt: 6.0% of its snaps are back for 2026.

Coverage

Graded 66.2 in 2025, an upper-half unit (44th of 136), and was heavily reshuffled: 27.0% of its snaps are back for 2026. Top grader Jake Golday (77.5 grade on 286 snaps) is not matched to the 2026 roster.

Pass rush

Graded 59.6 in 2025, a bottom-quartile unit (134th of 136), and was heavily reshuffled: 28.0% of its snaps are back for 2026. Top grader Dontay Corleone (59.5 grade on 167 snaps) is not matched to the 2026 roster.

Run defense

Graded 68.5 in 2025, an upper-half unit (50th of 136), and was heavily reshuffled: 30.0% of its snaps are back for 2026. Top grader Jake Golday (90.6 grade on 315 snaps) is not matched to the 2026 roster.

Move from report to the next evidence layer

Public team evidence connects directly to player, matchup, research, and props tools.

Methodology and data boundary

Schedule facts come from the committed ESPN 2026 catalog. Team efficiency and betting records are 2025 historical context; returning production is a 2026 preseason roster snapshot. PFF grades and charting metrics also measure the 2025 season and remain historical evidence rather than a 2026 forecast. Player ranges use the same versioned custom half-PPR season model as the linked player pages. When present, the completed-game passing layer comes from a pinned cfbfastR/SportsDataverse generation and is postgame descriptive. No ATS, moneyline, total, or game-side prediction is inferred. Sources: 2027 CFB/projections/2026_wk1_matchup_cards.md; 2027 CFB/model_outputs/v2/data/custom_fantasy_current/half_ppr_6pt_td_20pass/usage_aware/rankings.csv.
