2024 NFL EPA per Dropback Leaders

Expected points added per dropback. Every play changes how many points a team can expect to score from where it stands; EPA is that change. Dropbacks are pass attempts, sacks and scrambles, so a sack counts against the quarterback and a scramble for a first down counts for him. Spikes and kneel-downs are left out.

How to read it. 0.00 is about average. +0.20 is very good; +0.30 is a top-three season. Below −0.10 is a struggle.

The 2024 leaders: Lamar Jackson (+0.36), Josh Allen (+0.30), Jared Goff (+0.30).

EPA per Dropback

Minimum to rank: 14 pass attempts per team game (the NFL's minimum for passing rate leaders). 36 players.
