How each player's playtype mix matches up vs their opponent's defense.
The matchup score is centered on zero: positive means the player’s play-type mix runs into things this defense handles badly, negative means the opposite. It is a weighted read, so a play type a player runs on a tenth of his possessions moves the score far less than his primary action. Expanding a player shows which specific play types are driving the number and where the opposing defense ranks against each.

Combines each player’s share of possessions and efficiency percentile by play type with the opponent’s defensive percentile on the same play types. Play types used on fewer than one possession in ten are excluded, as is the catch-all miscellaneous bucket.
For DFS research where the question is stylistic rather than volumetric — a scorer whose game is built on the exact action a defense cannot guard is a different read from one who simply faces a bad defense.
