Mike Evans was the number 40 wide receiver in PPR per game but the number 75 in total scoring — a per-snap contributor whose ceiling was capped by missing nine games. The on-field concern was the touchdown rate: just 3 scores on 62 targets despite a 35 percent air yards share, light production for a receiver getting that volume of downfield looks.

Purdy was the number 6 quarterback in points per game and the number 23 in total scoring — elite when active, unavailable too often to trust as a season-long anchor. The one efficiency wart: 10 interceptions on 284 attempts. The accuracy was elite, but the turnover rate dragged down what should have been an even bigger ceiling.

McCaffrey was the number 1 running back in both total and per-game PPR scoring in 2025 — a 17-game workhorse season carried by elite volume, dual-threat usage, and 17 total touchdowns. The one weakness in the data was ground efficiency: minus 166 rushing yards over expected ranked 46th among qualified backs, meaning the per-carry production lagged the bar his workload would suggest.
