Understanding These Stats
Rushing
Att — Rushing attempts (carries).
Yds — Rushing yards.
TD — Rushing touchdowns.
Y/A — Yards per carry — rushing yards ÷ carries. The core rushing efficiency rate; 4.5+ is solid, 5+ is elite.
TD% — Touchdown rate per carry (TDs ÷ carries × 100) — measures scoring efficiency per touch independent of volume. Red-zone workhorses lead here.
1D — First downs gained on rushing plays.
1D% — First-down conversion rate (first downs ÷ carries × 100) — how often a carry moves the chains. Top RBs convert on 25%+ of attempts.
Fmb — Rushing fumbles lost — the key ball-security stat for running backs. Below 1 per season is elite.
Receiving
Tgt — Targets — how many times the receiver was thrown to, regardless of completion.
Rec — Receptions — catches made.
Yds — Receiving yards.
