How the QB EPA rankings work
Each quarterback is ranked by EPA per play over his dropbacks and his designed runs. A dropback counts passes, sacks and scrambles, so a quarterback who takes a sack loses EPA the same way he gains it on a completion.
CPOE is completion percentage over expected. It compares each throw to how often an average passer completes a throw of that depth and location. A positive CPOE means the quarterback completes harder throws than average.
Using QB EPA for DFS and betting
EPA per play rewards efficient quarterbacks, and DFS points reward volume as well. A quarterback with a high EPA per play on a pass heavy team is the best of both. The last 3 games column shows who is playing better or worse than his season line.
For betting, a big gap between two quarterbacks' EPA per play matters most when the market has not moved yet, for example after an injury or a change in the starter.
