Both xFP and Actual FP use TacoBot's PPR scoring on modeled carries, targets and pass attempts. Turnover deductions, return scoring and other unmodeled plays are outside this comparison, so Actual FP can differ from a league's full fantasy score. A dash means the stat is unavailable.

How this ranking works

How to read TacoBot xFP

  • TacoBot xFP estimates the historical value of modeled carries, targets and pass attempts using field position, down, distance and game situation. Targets and pass attempts can also use air yards and end-zone location.
  • Points Left = TacoBot xFP − Actual FP. Positive values mean scoring fell below opportunity value; negative values mean scoring exceeded it.
  • xFP values the opportunities that actually occurred. It is not a pregame forecast, and play outcomes and win probability do not set the expected value.
  • Actual FP uses the same modeled opportunities and TacoBot PPR scoring. Turnover deductions, returns and unmodeled plays are outside this comparison, so league totals may differ.
  • A scoring gap describes this week. It does not establish the cause of the gap or guarantee a rebound or regression.
