2018 NFL ACE per 100 Attempts Leaders

ACE per 100 attempts: completions above expected for every hundred throws. It is the fair way to compare a starter who threw 600 times with one who threw 300.

How to read it. +3.0 is excellent; 0 is average; −3.0 is well below.

The 2018 leaders: Drew Brees (+9.1), Carson Wentz (+7.1), Ryan Fitzpatrick (+7.0).
