Route IQ: NFL Receiving Yards Research

Route IQ models NFL receiving production from targets, routes, target areas and coverage looks, so you can see why a receiving yards line may be too high or too low.

More about Route IQ

What it measures

  • Targets, routes run and target share by game
  • Where targets land: short, intermediate and deep areas
  • Production against the coverage looks the next defense shows
  • Quarterback connection and recent role trends

Data and updates

Built on play by play and charted route and coverage data, refreshed after every game.

How to read it

  1. Start with the receiver's route and target share: volume drives yards.
  2. Then compare where his targets come from with what the next defense allows in those areas.
