Rivals has continued its partnership with Pro Football Focus (PFF) which grants me access to their comprehensive analytics and statistical tools.
After each game, two separate analysts grade every player on each play of the game and the two totals are averaged out. Obviously no subjective ranking system is perfect, but I am finding that my real world impressions of a player in a certain game usually reflects the PFF grade.

Feast or famine for JRP: Began the season with an elite grade of 91.7 vs. SC State, dropped to a poor 49.4 grade vs. Louisville and neared elite status again with an 86.6 vs. FAU. Offensive linemen grading near the top. PFF loved Xavier Townsend. Isaiah Bowser's 47.8 grade is his lowest ever at UCF.
