Stat Analysis

It's July, which means it's time for our annual airing out of our statistical database, starting with our look at the passing game.

How likely was a given play to earn big yards after the catch? And which players routinely outperformed what the averages would predict? We're doing things a little differently this year, and starting with our look at the best receivers with the ball in their hands in our annual look at YAC+.
