~ 2019 #ReceptionPerception x PPR PPG ~
Thanks to @MattHarmon_BYB's 2019 RP database, I was able to dig into "success vs coverage" and how it correlates to N PPR PPG for WRs
In this thread, I'll focus on success vs
Double Team
Man

Details on the analysis:
Sample: 50 WRs
RP's data is an 8-week sample. Since I don't know which 8 weeks, I'm using each WRs full season PPG avg
I mainly focus on volume, or the total number of successful routes vs each coverage (not success rate)
Let's dive in!

Let's dive in!

Successful Routes vs Double Teams 
This had by far the highest correlation to N PPR PPG
R2 = 0.357
Minimum 10 routes run vs DT (28 WRs)
R2 jumps to 0.479
No surprise Julio, Thomas & Hopkins lead this list!
~ Conclusion: Elite fantasy WRs produce despite DT ~

Successful Routes vs Man 
Correlation is still solid, yet not as high as "vs Double Teams"
Using all 50 WRs:
R2 = 0.224
With minimum of 100 routes vs man (48 WRs)
R2 = 0.291
Interesting observation: ARob is top 7 in success rate vs man & DT (min 10 routes run)

Successful Routes vs Press 
Very similar to "Success vs Man," for all 50 WRs:
R2 = 0.216
With min. of 50 routes vs Press (39 WRs):
R2 = 0.395
Interesting Observation: Keenan Allen, one of the best route runners, led RP sample size in successful routes vs Press

And lastly, success rate vs Zone
This one is extremely intriguing, as the correlation is very low to PPR PPG
For all 50 WRs:
R2 = 0.0108
Conclusion: beating zone coverage, may not always equate to more targets, which is why the correlation to PPG is low

Hope you enjoyed this. My conclusions:
Great fantasy WRs can consistently beat man & press
Elite fantasy WRs will produce despite double coverage
