Player Impact & EPA · 2025

Ranked by total EPA — cumulative points a player added above average. EPA here is raw (opponent-UNadjusted); rows marked ✓ carry an opponent-adjusted WEPA line value where we have it. Covers every FBS QB/RB/WR/TE who added at least 10 points.

Showing the 2025 season — the last one with complete player data. 2026 projections

Best at each position, in turn — total EPA rewards volume, so a single merged list is quarterbacks all the way down. Rank QBs on their own →

CollegeFootballData /ppa/players/season; opponent-adjusted line value merged from /wepa where available. EPA covers offensive skill touches (passing / rushing / receiving), so this board ranks QB, RB, WR and TE — linemen and defenders have no per-play EPA value to rank. Rows marked ✓ adj also carry our opponent-adjusted WEPA line value; that is a model estimate of a player's worth, not a market quote. WEPA exists only for passing and rushing (there is no opponent-adjusted receiving metric), so line value shows mainly for QBs and RBs — WRs and TEs are ranked by raw EPA alone.
