METHODOLOGY
Rankings aggregate player-level PPR fantasy points from nfl_data_pyplay-by-play. Each game-week row for a player counts once against the defending team, so “APP” (appearances) sums every player stat-line a defense faced at the position — backups included — not distinct games. “Avg PPR” is the mean PPR points per appearance allowed; lower = stingier defense. Exploit matchups come from the validated exploit engine, which grades individual players against the defense they face next week using matchup edge and projected production. Data covers 2025 regular season.
