Efficiency Index: scoring-share percentage ÷ lineup-slot percentage × 100. A score of 100 means the position produced exactly the same share of league points as the share of lineup spots it occupied. Above 100 = disproportionately productive; below 100 = disproportionately unproductive.

The Bambi Finding

The surprise isn't that quarterbacks score a lot. It's that tight end, kicker and offensive line each produced more points per starting slot than running back in Week 1. And the league's three mandatory WR spots consumed 30% of every lineup while producing only 14.05% of league scoring. One week isn't enough to declare that structural, but now we have a baseline. Every week we add another 140 starts and see whether the pattern survives.

Formula Sheet

POSITION SHARE % = Position Points / 1,317 × 100
POINTS PER STARTER = Position Points / Position Starting Slots
SLOT SHARE % = Position Starting Slots / 140 × 100
EFFICIENCY INDEX = Position Scoring Share / Position Slot Share × 100
LEAGUE AVG / TEAM = 1,317 / 14 = 94.07
LEAGUE AVG / START = 1,317 / 140 = 9.41
