~ 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
▫️Press
▫️Zone

(1/7) ⬇️
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!

(2/7)
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 ~

(3/7)
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)

(4/7)
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

(5/7)
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

(6/7)
Hope you enjoyed this. My conclusions:

▫️Great fantasy WRs can consistently beat man & press
▫️Elite fantasy WRs will produce despite double coverage

All credit goes to @MattHarmon_BYB and his RP data, which is found in the @TheFFBallers' UDK.

Thanks for reading!
