WAR and PAL Rating, 2026How we rate →
WAR: the EPA (expected points added) of every play, above replacement level, shared among those who made it, then converted to wins (35.3 points = one win). PAL Rating scores performance from 0 to 100 against regulars in the same group (50 = median).
PAL: dimensions
Where WAR comes from (in wins)
60% of the EPA of his throws to a receiver, 75% of his sacks, throwaways and scrambles, above replacement.
25% of the EPA of passes thrown his way (the QB and line get the rest), above replacement.
