Who counts: Rookie = 0 years of experience on the 2026 nflverse roster, confirmed by Sleeper's experience field (a Sleeper record showing 1+ years excludes him), and no NFL game in our logs before 2026 (logs start in 2015). Offense only: QB, RB, WR, TE.

How to read it: rank is within the rookie class by season total of PPR fantasy points; the position line shows his rank among rookies at his position and that group's median per game (players with 2+ games). Bars are his last 5 games (fewer if he has played fewer); “Last 3” compares his average over his last 3 games with his season average and appears once he has played 4+ games. We don't hold snap counts, so role is targets, target share and carries (share of his team's logged carries).
