Air Yards leaders 2025
Air yards count the distance the ball travelled in the air on every target, caught or not. It separates a receiver who is genuinely being thrown downfield from one whose yards come after the catch, and it is the raw material behind target share's more useful cousins.
By position: wide receivers · tight ends · running backs
2025 · WR · TE · RB
Average Depth of Target leaders 2025
Average depth of target, or aDOT, is air yards divided by targets: how far downfield a receiver is asked to work on a typical throw. A high aDOT means big plays and more volatility. A low one means volume and a steadier floor.
By position: wide receivers · tight ends · running backs
2025 · WR · TE · RB
Yards After Catch leaders 2025
Yards after catch is everything a receiver produced once the ball was in his hands. Read next to air yards, it tells you whether the production is coming from scheme and separation or from what he does on his own afterwards.
By position: wide receivers · tight ends · running backs
2025 · WR · TE · RB
WOPR leaders 2025
WOPR, the weighted opportunity rating, blends target share and air yards share into one number for how much of a passing game runs through a player. It is the single best one-glance measure of receiving opportunity.
By position: wide receivers · tight ends · running backs
2025 · WR · TE · RB
Catch Rate leaders 2025
Catch rate is receptions divided by targets. On its own it flatters short-area receivers, so it is worth reading beside average depth of target: a high catch rate on a high aDOT is the genuinely rare combination.
By position: wide receivers · tight ends · running backs
2025 · WR · TE · RB
Yards Per Target leaders 2025
Yards per target is what a team got back every time it threw at a player, whether or not he caught it. Because the denominator is targets rather than catches, drops and contested misses count against him, which is exactly what you want when judging efficiency.
By position: wide receivers · tight ends · running backs
2025 · WR · TE · RB
Receiving EPA leaders 2025
Expected points added measures how much each play moved a team's expected scoring, given down, distance and field position. Receiving EPA totals that across a player's targets, so a catch on third-and-long counts for more than the same yardage on first down.
By position: wide receivers · tight ends · running backs
2025 · RB · QB
Rushing EPA leaders 2025
Rushing EPA totals how much a runner's carries moved his team's expected points. It is unsentimental about volume: a back can lead the league in yards and still post a negative figure if those yards arrived in situations that did not need them.
By position: running backs · quarterbacks
2025 · WR · TE · RB
Receiving Yards leaders 2025
Receiving yards is the headline production number. It is the right place to start and the wrong place to stop, because it says nothing about how many chances it took to get there.
By position: wide receivers · tight ends · running backs
2025 · RB · QB · WR
Rushing Yards leaders 2025
Rushing yards is the headline number for a runner. Read it with carries and snap share, since the same total means something very different at 300 carries than at 180.
By position: running backs · quarterbacks · wide receivers
2025 · WR · TE · RB
Targets leaders 2025
Targets count every pass thrown a player's way. It is the purest volume statistic in a passing game and the input most likely to repeat next season, which is why it travels further than catches or yards.
By position: wide receivers · tight ends · running backs
2025 · WR · TE · RB
Receptions leaders 2025
Receptions is the catch count, and in points-per-reception scoring it is a scoring category in its own right rather than just a description of what happened.
By position: wide receivers · tight ends · running backs
2025 · QB
Passing Yards leaders 2025
Passing yards count how many yards a quarterback gained through completed throws. Fantasy managers should look at them when weighing a quarterback's weekly ceiling, then read them beside attempts and touchdowns to see whether volume is turning into scoring.
By position: quarterbacks
2025 · QB
Passing Touchdowns leaders 2025
Passing touchdowns count the throws a quarterback completed for a score. Fantasy managers should look at them when comparing a quarterback's scoring output, then check attempts and passing yards to see how much opportunity sat behind the total.
By position: quarterbacks
2025 · QB
Passing EPA leaders 2025
Passing EPA totals how much a quarterback's passing plays changed his team's expected points, given the game situation. Fantasy managers should look at it when they want context beyond yards and touchdowns, especially when two quarterbacks reached similar box-score totals in different ways.
By position: quarterbacks
2025 · QB
Interceptions leaders 2025
Interceptions count passes caught by the defense. Lower is better, and fantasy managers should look at the number when weighing turnover risk or deciding between quarterbacks with similar yardage and touchdown production.
By position: quarterbacks
