One dot per player, and the dot is his face. Players are only compared inside their own position group, and the workload floor keeps a monster number on twelve plays from masquerading as a star — it counts plays the player touched the ball, not snaps he was on the field for. The games floor defaults to four of a twelve-game season, because a rate earned in one game is not a measurement anywhere.

Passer efficiency vs receiver cost
142 passers · 2025
Right side = more throws reached his receivers and came back with no defender credited. This bucket contains drops AND off-target throws — nothing in any public feed separates them on a single play, so an inaccurate passer lands right on his own merits. The bottom-right corner is where the two explanations overlap; the board below holds the passer fixed and is the actual receiver-facing read.
Most hurt by one target
Spread between his worst and best qualifying receiver on his own throws — the same arm, so the difference is far more likely the receiver than the throw.
