The quarterback-wide receiver connection is a natural one. Most assume (correctly) a better quarterback is a good thing for his surrounding pass game targets. But to what degree?
This fantasy football study has been largely complete in my excel database for a couple of years now. Finally, I got around to finishing the data and findings into a consumable form.
- 2008-2014 Data
The quarterback data is divided into quadrants of:
- QB1-8
- QB9-16
- QB17-24
- QB25-32
Then, I looked at the probabilities of finding each of following by quarterback quality:
- Top-6 Receivers
- Top-12 Receivers
- Top-24 Receivers
- Top-36 Receivers
The findings were eye-opening to say the least….
The Results
