How the Week 1 report is built

Box scores are nflverse’s per-player, per-week statistics. Target share and carry share are a player’s targets or carries over his team’s total in that one game, not a season figure. Risers compare Week 1 with the player’s previous game, which is skipped across a bye, and only when he played for the same team both times. Snap-share movers use the nflverse snap counts behind NFL snap counts. The injury summary is the Week 1 nflverse injury report’s game statuses; teams are the team each player was on that week where he had played for one.
