Explosive Plays
0 (#50)

Explosive Play Rating (EPX) is a comprehensive rating of a player's explosiveness, factoring in per-play efficiency and total volume of explosive plays created. EPX is scaled so 100 is league-average at each position and blends passing, rushing, and receiving according to each player's usage. Pass plays over 20 yards or rush plays over 10 yards are considered explosive.
