Week 5 Targets & Air Yards
A Data Dump for RBs, WRs, and TEs.
Each Tuesday, I’ll be dropping The Fantasy Usage Model on Underblog. That’s my model that converts targets, air yards, carries, red zone usage, and other things into one easy-to-usage metric: “Fantasy Usage”. But I like to add context notes by each player’s name, so I need a place to dump a bunch of other data.
Before we get to the data, here’s a $10 sign-up bonus to play DFS and Player Prop Games on Underdog Fantasy. Literally free money.
Weeks 2–5 By Team
Per game stats not including Week 5 Monday Night Football. Sorted by targets per game. Minimum 3.0 targets to qualify. Share player stats are per game stats divided by team stats per game.
Weeks 1–5 Where Targets Are Located
“aDOT” is average depth of target. “DeepPerc” are percentage of targets that had 20+ air yards. “ShallowPerc” are percentage of targets that had under 10 air yards. “SidelinePerc” are percentage of targets that were located near the sideline per @nflfastR. The most valuable targets are intermediate/deep targets over the middle.
