We continue our examination of the passing game with our annual look at receiving plus-minus. Earlier this week, we showed you passing plus-minus and noted that Drew Brees dominated the decade in that stat. Given that fact, and the fact that Michael Thomas led the league in targets by a landslide, you might assume that Thomas did well in the receiving version of the stat. You'd be correct, but that would be understating it.
Receiving plus-minus is a stat we annually track to help provide context to catch rate. Given the location of a quarterback's passes, it compares a receiver's catch rate in each area to historical baselines.
