Field goals over expected: kickers ranked

His field goal percentage compared with what the distances he kicked from predict. +10 means he makes 10 more of every 100 kicks than an average kicker from those same spots.

Why the box score misses it: Field goal percentage rewards the kicker whose coach only sends him out from 30 yards.

Best so far: Spencer Shrader (IND), +18.9 pts. A typical kicker is −3.0 pts. Players need at least 6 field goal tries to qualify, so nobody is ranked on a handful of plays.

How to read this table
  • The number on the left is the league rank among kickers, even when the list is filtered to one team.
  • “Against the league” draws each player on the same strip: the ends are the 10th-best and 90th-best player, the shaded stretch is the middle half, and the tick is the median. Right is always better.
  • “Lately” is the change in grade between a player's last 2 games and the games before them. The tag says whether the change is bigger than what a few plays could cause.
  • Tick “Show the box score” to put the traditional totals next to the advanced number and sort by either.
