A dash means the panel holds no qualifying figure for that player — usually too few games or attempts to clear the metric's floor, not a zero. Ranks are the source's own, against the population shown, and run through the same week as the figures. Not shown, because the panel holds no 2026 through Week 8 figure for either player: Finish, Games, Snap share, Availability, Sack rate.

Josh Allen: UNSETTLEDLamar Jackson: UNSETTLED

The file holds Josh Allen's 2025 season — it just measures too few of these inputs for persistence to say what his was built on, here or against Lamar Jackson. The file holds Lamar Jackson's 2025 season — it just measures too few of these inputs for persistence to say what his was built on, here or against Josh Allen. The file holds both seasons and still doesn't separate them on durability — neither man leads the inputs that historically repeat. That is a finding, not a gap in the evidence.

“Repeats” is measured year-over-year persistence across 2016 to 2025 — opportunity carries between seasons, scoring rate largely does not. This describes what a 2025 season was built on. It is not a forecast, and Muffed publishes no projections, draft grades or start/sit advice. How we measure it.
