A new D-Line stat leader and a Boston player who provides a great example of how different metrics can convey different information.

Welcome to Better Box Score Metrics, our analytics column focused primarily on semi-pro statistics and discovering new ways to use data to explore ultimate. It is anchored by EDGE, which we can summarize as converting goals, assists, blocks, turnovers, and yards gained into one metric, while accounting for the scoring and turnover environment.
If Week 10 of the UFA was the Walker Frankenberg show, then Week 11 belonged to Daan De Marrée. Frankenberg’s 12.75 EDGE total had been the highest double-header weekend total of the season until De Marrée blew past that with a combined 14.0 EDGE in Chicago’s victories over Minnesota and Pittsburgh (Table 1). De Marrée also joined Frankenberg in the single-game 8.0+ EDGE Club for 2025, thanks to his 754Y/11S/4B/2T stat line against the Thunderbirds.
The hottest player spanning the past two weekends has been Mark Henke.
