Explosive Pass: 20+ yards (target completed for 20 or more air yards)
Explosive Run: 15+ yards
Finding offenses who gain yards in big chunks and defenses that allow yards the same.
Run Blocking and Run-Stopping
Using YBCo/Att to determine how many yards per attempt offensive lines are creating for RBs before contact, and conversely how many yards defensive lines are giving up before reaching ball carriers.
*YBCo=Yards Before Contact
Rushing Concepts
Looking at how defenses fare against both zone and gap rushing concepts, while displaying the rates at which offenses run said concepts and how successful they are on them.
Rushing Location
Looking at how defenses fare against both interior (A/B gap) and exterior (C/D gap) rushes, while displaying the efficiency of these offenses on interior and exterior runs.
Pass Blocking and Pass Rush
Looking at pressure rate for defenses (and pressure rate allowed for offenses) to determine defensive pass rush strength as well as an offensive line's pass blocking ability.
Yards Per Attempt + Completion % Over Expected
Finding the offenses that gain the most yards per pass attempt (YPA), as well as complete passes at the highest rate over expected (CPOE).
Conversely, finding the defenses who allow the highest YPA and CPOE.
Passing YPG by Location
Looking at passing YPG (OFF) and YPG allowed (DEF), segmented into 9 different sectors of the field.
These are broken into 3 tables based on short, intermediate, and deep passing. Within these tables, broken up by left, middle, or right side of field.
Receiver Alignments
How defenses fare in the varying alignments that receivers are put in, those being out-wide, in the slot, or or inline targets.
And, how are these offenses producing at the varying alignments.
Receiver Coverages Faced
Breaking down how often defenses run man and zone coverages, and how effective they are in those coverages
On the offensive end, looking at how these teams do versus these coverages, in terms of fantasy scoring.
Receiver Safety Looks Faced
Breaking down how often defenses run single-high and 2-high safeties, and how effective they are in those looks.
On the offensive end, looking at how these teams do versus these safety looks, in terms of fantasy scoring.
That’s all for the Week 10 Matchup Mastersheet! These tables should hopefully help you identify mismatches this week, aiding in fantasy, DFS, and betting decisions.

Data-driven takeaways and important notes from Week 14 NFL action
🧵⬇️
After Bucky dominated work in Wk13, the Bucs used more of a committee approach in Wk14. All 3 of their RBs got legitimate work, each above 6.5 XFP (Bucky led way at 11).
White chipped in for 31% of the RB routes (Bucky at 40%), while Sean Tucker got the sole goal line rush.
Once again, we saw a shift in usage for the Jaguars RBs. Etienne acted as a workhorse in Wk14, with a 90.1% (!) rush share.
Tuten did fumble in this one, but had just 2 snaps prior to said fumble. Etienne is obviously RB1 right now, but we’ve seen plenty of shifts in usage here
