Usage vs Production

Two ranks, side by side: where a player ranked at his position in snap share, and where he finished at his position in scoring. Most players land near their usage. The interesting rows are the ones that do not. Finishing well ahead of your snap-share rank means the production came from efficiency — big plays, touchdowns, yards per touch — and across 2016 to 2025 those are the inputs that travel worst between seasons. Finishing behind it means the opportunity was there and the results were not, and opportunity is the half that tends to come back. This is a description of what a season was made of, not a forecast of the next one.

A dash is a measurement that could not be taken, not a zero. Positional finish needs at least eight games, so a player who missed most of the season has none; snap-share rank needs enough snaps to clear the usage floor, so a player who barely played has none either. The gap needs both sides plus fourteen games, which is the strictest of the three and the reason more rows show a dash in the Usage Gap column than in either column it comes from. Rows with no gap sort to the bottom, beneath every row that has one.
