Totals rank highest first. Player IDs combine traded-team records; all represented teams are displayed. Games listed counts source appearances, not an independently verified active-game total. Players with exactly zero in the selected metric are omitted. Per-listed-game values use that same source-appearance denominator.

Only the named stat is totaled. Targets are not receptions, and passing, rushing and receiving yards are separate statistics. These are regular-season results across source positions, not all-time records or future rankings.

Source and methodology

Player statistics via nflverse. LeagueLogs filters regular-season rows, normalizes LA to LAR, computes scoring and aggregates by player or opposing defense. Unnamed source rows are excluded only when all consumed offensive fields are zero. No endorsement is implied.
