📊 Our Data
Flock Football Analytics prioritizes clean, fantasy-relevant data. Our stats are powered by an MIT‑licensed project that provides detailed NFL play-by-play data.
While our numbers align closely with major platforms like NFL.com, ESPN, and CBS, there are a few differences in our data.
Known Data Differences
🚫 Penalties and Invalidated Plays
- Pass attempts on penalty‑nullified plays are excluded.
- Targets, completions, and yards from invalidated plays are also excluded.
Example: 2024 Week 5 - MIA @ NE: A penalty‑nullified pass creates a mismatch in target counts compared to other sites.
🔁 Laterals and Multi‑Player Yardage
- Yards from a lateral play and attributed to the player that first receives the ball
Example: 2024 Week 3 - DET @ ARI: An Amon-Ra St. Brown lateral results in extra yardage for him, even though a teammate advanced the ball. 🎥 Watch the play
🧍 QB Kneels
We exclude quarterback kneels from rushing stats because they don't reflect meaningful offensive production.
Example: 2024 Week 4 - BAL @ LAC: Multiple kneels are not included in Lamar Jackson's rushing totals on Flock.
