Boom or Bust

Every week your lineup decisions come down to two questions: who has a real shot at a 30-point game, and who's about to lay an egg? Season-long averages don't answer either one. This report does, by sorting every player at a position by how often they boom, how often they bust, and how consistent they are in between, so you can identify the ceiling plays for tournament lineups and the floor plays for cash games before kickoff.

Pick a position (QB, RB, WR, or TE), choose a season range from a single year up to a full career, and the page shows five views of the same data: a stacked bar of each player's boom/avg/bust mix, a hot-streaks grid of their actual recent game sequence, a consistency leaderboard scored by average fantasy points minus standard deviation, a ceiling-vs-floor scatter plot, and a sortable details table. The boom and bust thresholds default to position-aware values (26+ for a QB boom, 17+ for a WR, etc.) but you can drag the sliders to define them yourself.

If a player's boom potential catches your eye, head to head lets you compare two players game by game. New to consistency stats? The NFL stats guide explains what boom and bust rates actually measure.
