How to read NFL passing stats

The default passing leaderboard ranks players by passing yards. Sort TD to find touchdown leaders, CMP % to compare completion rates, or Y/A to compare yards per attempt. Use the QB position filter to focus on quarterbacks.

Passing yards, touchdowns and efficiency

Yards and touchdowns show total production. Attempts show passing volume; completion percentage and yards per attempt add context. Check attempts before judging an average: one long completion can give a player with only a few throws a very high Y/A.

CMP, ATT and CMP %: Completions, pass attempts and completions divided by attempts. For example, 24 completions on 36 attempts is 66.7%.
Y/A: Passing yards divided by attempts. A 280-yard game on 35 attempts is 8.0 yards per attempt.
TD and INT: Touchdown passes and interceptions thrown. Rushing touchdowns appear in the rushing category.
Sacked: Times the passer was sacked. Player passing yards are gross yards; the team passing total subtracts sack yardage.

Is this a passer rating leaderboard?

No. The table ranks the individual stats shown in its columns. It does not calculate passer rating or QBR. Choose a column to see the leader in that measure.

Player leaderboard questions

How are ties, averages and missing stats handled?

Equal values share a rank. Averages use combined yards and attempts or receptions across the selected games. There is no minimum-attempt requirement for rate stats here, so check workload before comparing averages. A dash means the source figure is missing or the rate has no attempts.

What if a player changes teams or positions?

With all teams selected, a player's contributions are combined. Choose one team to count only their games for that team. Positions use the supplied game data, with available roster or player-profile information filling gaps. “Unknown” means a position has not been supplied. The overview cards remain league-wide when you filter the table.

Are these live stats, fantasy points or career records?

These are 2026 regular-season box-score totals from completed games, not live fantasy scores or all-time records. We aggregate ESPN game box scores; updates are checked about every six hours during the season and published after completeness checks. See the saved update time above the table. Stat corrections can change totals.
