“Most Yards Per Route Run by a rookie wide receiver since 2009 per @PFF Odell Beckham Jr - 2.75 AJ Brown - 2.67 👀 Percy Harvin - 2.34 Hakeem Nicks - 2.30 Tyreek Hill - 2.28 https://t.co/kRB1dYo0FR”

Sleeper is definitely conspiring to get everyone to reach for AJ Brown, how about we talk about Ryan Tannehill instead.

Sure, from weeks 10 to 17 Ryan Tannehill was the #3 QB

From week 10 to 17 AJ Brown was ranked #2 at WR

@CheckUrSource yards per route run, which includes plays where a pass was not thrown is an absurdly stupid stat.

@jdean again, it's showing workload ie confidence from coaches to be out there. Some rookies don't even see the field until mid season. When they're getting opportunities to be on the field in their... ... you know, nevermind. Don't pay attention to the stat.

@CheckUrSource I get that to a degree....but why not just count snaps, if that’s what you’re looking for.

This stat is extremely flawed. Anyone that has actually studied statistics can tell you that. And by the way, I believe AJ Brown is an absolute beast. Perhaps this stat is nothing more than confirmation of that to some degree, but it takes into account entirely way too many factors for it to be anything other than “interesting”.

In other words, this stat needs more context. It’s silly, otherwise.

It shows efficiency and market share in one stat. It's not silly.

Taking account of run plays where the WR was on the field but didn’t actually run a route actually deflates the value of that WR, because it inflates the value of WRs that weren’t on the field for running plays.

Efficiency? What efficiency? Market share? What are you talking about?

This is absolutely a ridiculous stat. It shows nothing. Whoever found the stat just saw some names that had similar production and found it interesting.

And that’s all it is: interesting

There is no context. No accountability in the stat.

It’s silly.

So you’re saying AJ Brown will get hurt this season

DK was probably close on this list

It is yards per routes run so it doesn't take run plays into account. Only pass plays. Easily shows who are the most efficient players. Everytime there is a pass play, these guys get the most yards each time. Probably want those guys lol.

This stat definitely does not only include pass plays. 2.76 yards per pass play? LOL

You are joking right? Lol

An individual receiver doesn't get thrown to on every down.

Look, here’s factual stats....with context. 2014 Beckham: played 771 snaps 2019 AJ Brown: played 678 snaps

If the qb's yard per pass is 8 yds. Then the receivers yards per route run would be less.
