As of 2026-11-14T22:37:04.012190Z. Every number on Will Shipley's tables comes from the engine, and a rate over a season is worked out from its summed parts, never an average of averages. Betting and fantasy terms are explained in Learn.

• Each season's line from the source Kelly serves first by precedence (nflverse, kelly, balldontlie, cfbd), else the sum of its games.
• All seasons Kelly holds.
• At least 1 games (min_sample).
• Stat catalogue 1.0.0; a missing value is not zero, and games without it are left out of its total.
