2025 USAGE
data note
Red-zone role is measured on 2025 data — this season has too few games. Roles change with a depth chart, so this is last year's usage rather than a claim about this week.
This record was written when the finding was first published and has not been edited since. The numbers and the wording are what our engines produced on the day.
