28 WRs averaged 2.00 yards or more per route run in the 2020 season.
Why is yards per route run (YPRR) significant? All of the top-10 and 12 of the top-14 WRs in PPR fantasy points per game were among the 28 WRs.

Among these 28 players are some surprising names:
Donovan Peoples-Jones (2.36 YPRR)
Jakobi Meyers (2.41)
Nelson Agholor (2.11)
Rashard Higgins (2.07)
Tyron Johnson (2.55)
Four of those players finished inside the top-6 in Completed Air Yards Per Target.

It's not surprising that Air Yards and Yards Per Route Run are related.
When running some numbers, a different player stood out.
First, I calculated player's Air Yards (completed and unrealized) and divided by their Routes Run (AY Per Route Run).

Keenan Allen (28th)
Jarvis Landry (20th)

Besides Antonio Brown, the rest of those five WRs played at least 25% of their snaps in the slot. All five WRs saw an average target distance (aDOT) outside the top-80.
Deebo Samuel's aDOT was 2.6, LAST in the NFL. Next-lowest aDOT? Isaiah Wright with 4.7.

Deebo Samuel's 2.37 YPRR was tied for 11th with DeAndre Hopkins. Hopkins more than tripled the amount of AY Per Route Run (2.36) than Samuel.
Deebo accomplished this impressive feat with three lackluster QB options throwing the ball to him (Garoppolo, Mullens, Beathard)

Deebo is an underrated dynasty player to try to acquire. Because of injuries, he only played in 7 games and finished with under 400 yards receiving. His price has never been lower than it is now.
Whether you in a rebuild or contending, you need to get Deebo in your leagues!
