Watching analysts use Route IQ has been one of my favourite parts of building NFL 2.0 with @statyxio Specially when they use it to explain their thinking. You get to see which questions they ask, which details they notice, and how they connect a receiver’s role to the opponent that week. That’s exactly what I hoped we could help with. I’ve spent enough time jumping between NFL tables to know how easily research turns into collecting numbers. Targets in one tab. Coverage splits in another. Defensive rankings somewhere else. Eventually, you have plenty of stats and still haven’t answered the question you started with. What does this week’s matchup actually mean for this receiver? We built Route IQ around that question. One player page where you can work through: → ROLE: How is the receiver’s involvement changing? → TARGET AREAS: Where does the receiver get opportunities, and how does the defense perform in those areas? → COVERAGE: How does production change against man, zone, and different coverage shells? → MATCHUPS: Which cornerbacks could the receiver face, and where is the receiver lining up? → PLAYER VS DEFENSE: Where does the matchup look favourable, and where is there resistance? Those connections matter whether you’re researching props, making a fantasy decision, or writing an analytical breakdown. A strong season average can hide a changing role. A defensive ranking can miss a weakness in a specific area. A promising coverage split still needs its sample size beside it. I want that context within reach while you’re doing the research. Seeing analysts adopt tools like this is genuinely satisfying. They bring their own knowledge, challenge what they’re seeing, and find connections we might not have considered. As a founder, that’s a great feeling. You spend months thinking through how something should work, then someone uses it in a way that makes the whole effort feel worthwhile. Still plenty to improve. But this is the direction I want to keep building in. Here’s Route IQ and a look at why we built it. 👇
