Goal-Line Usage Leaders
Goal-Line Usage — 2026 NFL leaders, updated Nov 12, 2026. Kenneth Walker III (KC) took the largest share of his team's inside-10 chances at 58.3% across 72 qualifying players. Based on verified 2026 play-by-play data (nflverse); Half-PPR scoring. Through Week 9 of the 2026 season.
Yardage is earned between the 20s; touchdowns are handed out inside the 10. This board counts the chances rather than the results — every carry and every target a player got on a snap from inside the opponent's 10-yard line, and what share of his own team's chances that was. It is the usage number that a yards-per-game column cannot see at all: two backs with the same workload can be forty carries apart down there, and that gap is most of the difference in what they score. Carries and targets add together because both are the same thing from the offense's side, a decision about who gets the ball with the end zone in range.
