About Weekly Heater — What It Is and Who It's For

Weekly Heater is a free football stats site with one specialty: the quarter-by-quarter numbers nobody else publishes. Every NFL player's Q1-Q4 yards, targets and touchdowns; every defense's per-quarter allowances; posted prop lines graded against our fair numbers; and a college wing that grades every FBS game against its closing line. Built from play-by-play, method stated on every page, misses printed next to hits.

What makes it different

Most stat sites publish full-game averages. Books settle 1Q and 1H props on quarter numbers — so the data that settles those bets mostly didn't exist in public until this site. Beyond the splits: a parlay slip checker that grades your legs against real history, a fantasy player comparison tool with the arithmetic shown, free printable draft sheets, and tested answers to football questions — including the ones where the popular belief turned out wrong.

The honesty rules

Every number is computed from source play-by-play, every model states its blind spots, and every call gets graded publicly after the games — the college wing already prints favorites' ATS record and every upset. When we don't have a number, the page shows a dash, not a guess.

FAQ

What is Weekly Heater?

A free NFL and college football stats site built on play-by-play data. Its specialty is quarter-by-quarter splits — every player's Q1-Q4 yards, targets and touchdowns — which almost nobody else publishes, plus prop-line grading, draft tools and printable cheat sheets.

Who is Weekly Heater for?

Three audiences: prop bettors who need first-quarter and first-half numbers the books' full-game averages hide; fantasy players who want draft rankings and start/sit checks graded against real data; and football stat nerds who like their claims backtested with the method shown.

Is Weekly Heater free?

Yes — every page, tool and printable sheet is free with no signup. Citation with attribution is the only ask.

Where does Weekly Heater's data come from?

nflverse play-by-play (and sportsdataverse/cfbfastR for college) — open, community-maintained data — plus our own pre-kick snapshots of sportsbook lines. Every page states its methodology.

Methodology: computed from nflverse play-by-play; a quarter's yards are the yards gained on plays snapped in that quarter. Averages use each player's games played, not team games. Updated 2026-09-13.
