Hi everyone!

Welcome to this week’s Statpack. It’s our weekly look at leaderboards for our all-encompassing player value stat, Total Points, and some the stats that our operations team charts throughout the season. Plus, we give you a look at how each matchup this week stacks up with head-to-head comparisons of the teams for their different units.

You can download the full set of stats above. You will get the most out of this e-mail if you download and study the PDFs linked above and read our commentary below.

Total Points Leaderboards

Highlights from the leaderboards in our flagship stat, Total Points, which attempts to measure everything that happens on the field (if you’re new to this, there’s a full primer here):

Think of this as a guide to who the most valuable players at each position are, as well as a power ranking as to which teams are faring best in different aspects of play.

Top 10 Teams Overall

Top 5 Offenses

Top 5 Defenses

Total Points Leaders: Quarterbacks

Total Points Leaders: Running Backs

Total Points Leaders: Wide Receivers

Total Points Leaders: Defensive Ends

Total Points Leaders: Linebackers

Total Points Leaders: Cornerbacks

Total Points Leaders: Safeties

Note: These rankings are based on unrounded totals which virtually eliminates ties between players or teams.

* The Broncos have overtaken the Colts for the top spot in Total Points due to their comfortable lead in Total Points on defense (all this information is available in the PDFs above).

* The Chiefs have jumped from 8th to 3rd in the overall standings after a strong showing against the Lions. These two teams are the only ones that boast a top seven ranked offense and defense in Total Points Per Play.

* The Bears offense is currently ranked 4th in Total Points Per 60 Plays. Caleb Williams was sacked a league-high 68 times last season, but has been sacked only 10 times in 5 games so far in 2025. A revamped offensive line, better playcalling by their new coach Ben Johnson, and refined play by Williams are driving this offensive improvement.

* Bijan Robinson has taken a massive lead amongst running backs with 36 Total Points, 11 points more than second place. He leads the league in average yards after contact (4.1) and broken/missed tackle rate (34%).

* After establishing himself as a legitimate threat in his second year, Jaxon Smith-Njigba has taken his game to another level in year three and is forcing his name onto the list of best wideouts in the league. Not only does he lead all receivers with the most receptions on targets 20+ yards downfield but also leads yards per route run by a wide margin (4.5, second is 3.5).

* While a majority of the Seahawks secondary has not been able to stay healthy, Josh Jobe has been a bright spot for them, ranking 5th in completion percentage allowed at 38%. He also leads the league in quarterback rating against at 22.7.

* Jonathan Taylor has led a high-powered Colts rushing attack that ranks 1st in rushing Total Points Per 30 plays, and this is in part due to him leading the league with 415 yards after contact on rushing attempts. He also ranks 5th in broken/missed tackle rate at 25%.

Matchups and Mismatches

When we look at matchups by unit and compare the teams playing a particular game, there are intriguing matchups and mismatches each week. The Total Points PDF has this for each game in the NFL in a given week.

You can also find much of this information at the SIS DataHub Pro.

Here are some things we noticed:

(All references to rankings are in the context of Total Points Per Play)

* Jaxson Dart may be in for a rough time, as his 20th-ranked passing blocking unit is facing the Broncos, the number one pass rushing unit in the league coming off a nine sack performance against Justin Fields and the Jets.

* The Texans, boasting the number one passing offense in the league, will look to take advantage of the Seahawk’s weakened secondary, which currently ranks 26th in pass coverage.

* There looks to be a fun matchup in the trenches with the Eagle’s 2nd-ranked pass blocking unit facing the Viking’s 6th-ranked pass rushing unit.

* The Patriots will look to get their last place rushing attack going against the Titans and their worst ranked run defense unit in the league.
