2019 Punter Stats - Week 13

The Boom Rating is a performance measure on a scale of 0.00 to 1.00.  Multiple factors are included in the Boom Rating such as net yards per kick, line of scrimmage, and proximity to each end zone, etc.  All FBS game punts were factored into this score.  See our methodology.

Includes all games from November 19-November 23.

Notes:
1)  To be considered for the weekly Best Punter Award, a player must have a minimum of 3 punts.
2)  888 = had less than 3 punts in W13 (Week 13) --- USED FOR WEEKLY RANKING
3)  999 = has less than 30 punts all season --- USED FOR TOTAL SEASON RANKING
4)  Boom Rating is rounded to three decimal places.  When players have the same Boom Rating, but different Rank, it means their Boom Rating is different beyond 3 decimal places.

Note about the Weekly Rating and Rank:
The Boom Rating is an effective tool to evaluate punters over the course of a season. However, on a weekly basis, the Boom Rating may lack nuance for the very top and bottom performers due to the small sample size each week. The issue is that achieving 3 great punts is a lot easier than achieving, say, 8 great punts. Since the Boom Rating is based on percentages, it's easier to be perfect over 3 punts, compared to 8 punts. To remedy this, we created formulas that allow for a direct comparison between punters with different number of punts in a given week. Each "number of punts" has a ideal standard. Think of it as an optimal score for that number of punts.

To determine who has the top punter performance in a given week, we will run our formula for players with a weekly Boom Rating of .675 or higher. In this select group only, players with a lower weekly Boom Rating can be ranked above a player with a higher weekly Boom Rating because our formulas recognize the difficulty of earning a high Boom Rating with a large number of punts.
