Model receipt

Punter production uses net average, gross average, inside-20 rate, touchback rate, and return yards allowed.

The displayed performance component is recency-weighted across qualifying 2025, 2024, 2023 seasons.

The non-QB forecast target is next-season position-relative production, not an independent film or talent grade.

Public metrics for this position showed weak year-to-year validation; treat its ordering as current production, not a stable talent forecast.
