How to read

Snap Grade is one number per player per game or season on a player-rating scale (max 99), built from public box scores.

Positions

QB
Rewards passing efficiency, yards, touchdowns and rushing production; turnovers bring it down. A game requires 8 or more pass attempts. The 2026 season board requires 3 games and 75 pass attempts. Past seasons (2006–2025) require 12 or more games and 238 or more pass attempts.
WR
Rewards receptions, receiving yards, touchdowns and ball security (targets count from 2009). Past seasons (2006–2025) require 12 or more games and 50 or more targets (24 receptions before 2009). A 2026 season requires at least 2 games, and the target minimum scales with weeks played.
RB
Rewards rushing and receiving yards, touchdowns and ball security. Past seasons (2006–2025) require 12 or more games and 150 or more touches. A 2026 season requires at least 2 games, and the touch minimum scales with weeks played.
TE
Rewards receptions, receiving yards, touchdowns and finishing chances (targets count from 2009). Past seasons (2006–2025) require 12 or more games and 30 or more targets (16 receptions before 2009). A 2026 season requires at least 2 games, and the target minimum scales with weeks played.

Game cards, caps, ties and blank QBR

A game with no production is capped at 68. 99 is reserved for historic games only. A QB game with a blank ESPN QBR is ungraded (—) and shows no Snap Grade for that game. Equal displayed scores share a T-n rank on weekly boards; season ties are broken by the unrounded score.

Movers

Movers show the week-over-week change in a qualified player's season Snap Grade after that week's games (a player appears only if he played that week).

MVP race

Qualified quarterbacks ranked by season Snap Grade, with past seasons marking the real NFL MVP.

Picks

Every pick earns (that player's Snap Grade ÷ 10) × (its points ÷ 10), rounded to 1 decimal. Then add a bonus: +3 if he finishes in the top 5 at his position that week (ties at #5 count), or +5 instead (not both) if he's #1 (ties at #1 count). The week score is that raw total ÷ 119 × 100, rounded to 1 decimal. A perfect week is 100, because 99 SNP on all 100 points is 99, plus 4 × 5 = 20, which is 119. The season leaderboard adds those week scores through Week 15. Top 8 after Week 15 make the Playoffs. Quarterfinals are Week 16, Semifinals are Week 17, and the Final is Week 18. The winner is The Snap Count Champion. Snap Grade is the average of your scaled week scores, rounded to a whole number and capped at 99. It shows after your first scored week. Snap Points can't be bought, sold, cashed out or traded.
