Each week, PFF analyst Nick Akridge dives into the tape to study one of the NFL’s top quarterbacks, detailing how they see the field, manipulate defenses and execute the throws that define games. Whether it’s Bo Nix making adjustments at the line of scrimmage, Jalen Hurts airing it out or Drake Maye making pinpoint accurate […]
There’s no denying the pressure on McCarthy. The Vikings went all-in on him as their franchise quarterback this offseason, and the early returns were uneven. But development was always going to take time, and over the past few weeks, the confidence and decisiveness have clearly shown up on tape.
As we gear up for the second 12-team College Football Playoff, we’ll provide an in-depth breakdown of each contender, recapping their journey to this point and highlighting what makes them tick while leveraging PFF data.
James Madison has the defense and run game that could give Oregon some issues. If Barnett can keep his hot streak going, the Dukes may have an outside chance at an upset.
Tulane’s passing attack can keep the Green Wave within striking distance in these playoff games, but the defense must perform better if Tulane is going to pull off a massive upset.
After a marathon of a season, it’s becoming a sprint to the finish line as the top teams vie for playoff positioning — while squads that have been eliminated will look to play spoiler. Every year, we see rookies make big impacts toward these goals, and this week we’re going to look at the best […]
If Carson Beck can play clean football for four straight games, Miami has the talent to make a deep run in the playoff and potentially win the whole thing.
Alabama has the defense, offensive line and receiving corps capable of making a deep run in the playoff. The question is whether a cold Ty Simpson can carry this offense without much of a run game to rely on.
Oklahoma’s defense can keep it close with any team it faces in the playoff. The question is whether the offense can pull its weight enough to make a run.
Texas A&M has the defense and supporting cast on offense to compete for the program’s first national championship since 1939. It may just come down to whether or not Marcel Reed can play clean and consistent football for four straight games.
Ole Miss will be eager to show Lane Kiffin what he’s missing in the College Football Playoff. The Rebels should at least make the quarterfinals, where they’ll need to avenge their loss to Georgia in order to move further than that.
Oregon might not be the favorite going into the playoff like it was last year, but the Ducks could be primed for a deeper run than the 2024 squad thanks to a complete roster.
Texas Tech has a national championship-caliber defense. The question is whether the passing game can pull its weight for the Red Raiders to capture their first title.
Georgia isn’t the odds-on favorite to win the national championship like in previous seasons, but the Bulldogs have enough talent on both sides of the ball to potentially bring home their third trophy in the last five years.
Target share is an extremely valuable statistic for fantasy football, especially early in the season. It gives us a clear view of who quarterbacks trust and who offensive coordinators are scheming touches for.
Rushing share is one of the clearest indicators of a running back’s role — and often, their fantasy value. Whether you're trying to confirm a bell cow workload or spot a changing committee, early trends can tell us plenty.
