FAQ

For the first time in NFL history, there is a data point that summarizes exactly how much every football player on the field impacts the scoreboard. The person scoring on offense or stopping a score on defense never does it alone. Football is the consummate team sport.

We highlight the top performers and underachievers at every position based on what matters most. The scoreboard. Points scored/ allowed are then distributed to all active players that played on Offense or Defense.

If an offense averages 27 points a game PPV should generally account for most or all of those points and distribute them among all the offensive players that stepped on the field. The same can be said for defense. There are a few non relevant exceptions.

1. PPV Stands for Player Point Value. The logic and math behind PPV is proprietary and an unseen metric in football. We believe it is as revolutionary as QBR and other new statistics developed to illuminate player impact and value. Nothing gets to the heart of value like PPV.
2. PPV or Player Point Value is a proprietary data point created to distribute points scored on offense and points allowed on defense directly to offensive and defensive units, position groups, and players.
3. The higher the number, the better for offensive units, position groups, and players. The lower the number, the better for defensive units, position groups, and players.
4. PPV is tied to points scored on offense and points allowed on defense. Each offensive/defensive unit, position group and player (that plays in a game) is responsible for points scored/allowed.
5. PPV numbers cannot exceed the total number of points scored or allowed from week to week or in aggregate.
6. Our proprietary  algorithmic approach to PPV includes positional value and usage/total plays also play a role in PPV/game.

1. PPV can be used for individual match up analysis such as CB1 vs WR1 or when you anticipate a mismatch such as CB3 on WR1.

    

2. PPV can provide insights on how a complete position group matches up against their positional counterpart such as LBs vs RBs or DL vs OL.

    

3. PPV can also be used on the full unit level similarly to traditional Points Per Game for the Offense and Points Allowed on Defense. These are sharper numbers as random, garbage time and
   other non relevant or random occurrences are not part of the PPV logic.

    

4. PPV is brand new. You may find other ways to use it that we have yet to think of. Have fun with it and let us know feedback as we are iterating daily.
