You may have heard the phrase “Opportunity is king” before. It’s used frequently in the fantasy football community and rightfully so. It may sound painfully obvious, but there’s little else we can rely on with extreme confidence other than the fact that being on the field translates to opportunity, which ultimately generates fantasy points. Opportu...
Yards After Catch / Yards After Catch per Target
The amount of yards gained after the catch, and they rate at which they are accumulated, are not as powerful of a predictor of fantasy production as most opportunity metrics. However, they do provide insight into how a receiver is gaining his yards. They also highlight the player’s ability (or lack thereof) to create yards for himself in the open field.
Unrealized Air Yards / Unrealized Air Yards per Target
Unrealized Air Yardsare the total amount of Air Yards that are not converted into receiving yards. This metric is especially useful for contextualizing opportunity. The more cumulative Unrealized Air Yards a player has, the more opportunity he is earning. In contrast, those with a high Unrealized Air Yards per Target are generally drawing a low-volume of uncatchable deep targets. Unrealized Air Yards per Target are negatively correlated with fantasy production, meaning that the more Unrealize...
Touchdown Rate
Touchdown Rate is a receiver’s total amount of touchdowns scored per touch. A high Touchdown Rate is not necessarily indicative of more total touchdowns. It is, however, an indicator of unstable touchdown production. Only six of 112 receivers who finish with a minimum 15-percent Touchdown Rate went on to repeat that efficiency the next season. Let’s take Mecole Hardman‘s 2022 season as an example of this takeaway. Hardman, who played eight games, finished with six touchdowns on a 20.7-percent...
Yards per Team Pass Attempt
Yards per Team Pass Attempt is one of the strongest predictors of fantasy production since 2017. This metric measures how efficiently a player is producing with respect to their team’s offensive passing volume and can highlight players who’s production was diminished by a sluggish offense. Chris Olave is one of four rookie receivers since 2017 to surpass 2.25 Yards per Team Pass Attempt, joining Justin Jefferson, Ja’Marr Chase, and A.J. Brown. Similarly to A.J. Brown, an anemic passing offens...
Target Accuracy
PlayerProfiler’s Performance Analysts chart grade every throw of every game on a 1-10 scale, with 10 being the most accurate. Targets above a grade of eight are considered highly accurate, and those below seven are considered relatively inaccurate. This metric is not a strong predictor of fantasy performance, but there is some correlation since targets must be caught to score fantasy points. Despite a solid rookie performance, Garrett Wilsoncould have gone even bigger. His 6.6 (No. 90) Target...
Yards per Route Run
Yards per Route Run is one of the strongest efficiency metrics for predicting total fantasy points. Exhibiting high per-route efficiencies is generally an indication of a talented receiver. Since 2017, 80 of the 174 receivers with at least 50 targets and two Yards per Route Run finished with over 15 fantasy points per game. Only 13 receivers finished with under 10 fantasy points per game. In his rookie season, Drake London recorded a 2.40 (No. 11) Yards per Route Run. Despite completely domin...
We know that the best predictor of future opportunity is past opportunity, but what do we do for rookies? For incoming talent, there is no stronger predictor than draft capital. Next to the level of investment a team places in a player, we can look to his college production and workout metrics to evaluate the quality of his prospect profile.

Jun 28, 2022 · He scored well above average in targets per route run even though the Broncos played in 3 WR sets slightly more than league average. Additionally, he was better than Courtland Sutton (his primary competition for targets in 2022) in targets per route run, yards per target, passer rating when targeted, and yards after catch per reception last season.
