Like how the NFL and fantasy football landscape is a blend of tendencies and odds, the projection gives those ‘peeking through keyholes’ (Sigmund Bloom reference) tidbits to suggest a wide receiver’s role and value in the NFL. One addition to the gluttonous projection model for wide receiver prospects has been TD+/-.
Playing the Odds
Like the other category statistics, TD+/- gives a quick view of the most likely strength of a wide receiver and for future fantasy football lineups. When using a player’s touchdown production (compared to his yardage), a strong performer has shown a tendency to be a higher touchdown scorer in the NFL. On the other side of the coin, a yardage-based receiver in college tends to stay that way in the NFL.
