Boosters — what raises the ceiling
✓Target share trending up10.1 → 12.82024→2025A rising share signals an earned, growing role rather than noise.
✓Downfield role — aDOT ≥ 1114.9 vs >=112025A downfield role raises the weekly ceiling through big plays.
✓Air-yards share ≥ 25%25.8 vs >=252025Share of the team's downfield passing intent = who the offense actually throws to.
✗Red-zone target share ≥ 18%9.6 vs >=182025TD equity is what converts yards into startable fantasy scoring.
✓Team vacated ≥ 20% of its targets24.4 vs >=202025Departed volume is the clearest path to a target bump.
✗Average-or-better QB play-0.1 vs >=02025WR production is hard-capped by quarterback play.
✓2-WR-set concentration (heavy personnel funnels targets)40.1 vs >=352025Heavy 12/21 personnel cuts perimeter competition and funnels target share to the clear No.1/2 WR (needs role clarity).
✗Pass-friendly scheme (PROE ≥ 0)-10.8 vs >=02025Pass rate over expectation lifts every pass-catcher's volume.
