Definition

One definition, the column that binds its range, and what the figure is a share of.

share of his team's plays in the bucket he was on the field for; participation is offseason-tier, so there is no current season and there will not be one in-season

role.onfield_share

Source
participation; n counts independent games
Bound column
starts 2016: participation.offense_players is not usable before it; ENDS 2025: participation.offense_players has no data after it, so this cannot answer a question about the 2026 season
Columns it reads
participation.offense_players
Denominator
The team's total: teammates split one denominator.
Season range
Historical 2016–2025. Historical only. Its inputs cover 2016 to 2025 and stop there, so it cannot speak about the 2026 season: nothing on this page is about this week.

Distribution

The middle half sits between 0.30 and 0.79.

Down-and-distance on-field share, 1st · N = 2,012 with at least 5 games · 2016–2025

0.00 to 0.10: 410.10 to 0.20: 2150.20 to 0.30: 2550.30 to 0.40: 2260.40 to 0.50: 2300.50 to 0.60: 2180.60 to 0.70: 1720.70 to 0.80: 1850.80 to 0.90: 1510.90 to 1.00: 319

Darker bars: 0.80 and up, 470 of 2,012 values, the top fifth (23%).

Does it carry?

No week-to-week carry-over is published for this measure. Its file holds a value per player with its interval; whether a week above average carries into the next is not in it.

What the file does and does not say

Four limits, stated plainly.

  1. Interval from resampling games with replacement, 2,000 times. Built at 95%. That coverage is nominal: this page does not check it against outcomes.
  2. n counts independent games, never rows. A value resting on fewer than 5 games is shown muted in the table and not read: it is left out of the range and the leaders.
  3. It covers 2016 to 2025, and says why in the producer's words: starts 2016: participation.offense_players is not usable before it; ENDS 2025: participation.offense_players has no data after it, so this cannot answer a question about the 2026 season.
  4. A share of a team total: teammates split one denominator, so two teammates' intervals side by side are not two independent estimates.
