Receiving opportunity

Opportunity comes before production.

We read WOPR (target + air-yards share), aDOT, and RACR from real nflverse play-by-play, then flag where opportunity and production disagree — that gap is the edge. Not a pick.

How we read it

WOPR
1.5·target share + 0.7·air-yards share. The single best summary of a receiver's role; it leads fantasy points.
aDOT & RACR
Depth of target, and yards earned per air yard. Together they separate volume from efficiency.
The read
Opportunity ≫ production = buy-low (positive regression); production ≫ opportunity = sell-high.

Who's earning the looks

Real nflverse opportunity metrics (WOPR, target & air-yards share, aDOT, RACR). We read opportunity as the leading indicator and flag where it diverges from production (buy-low / sell-high). Context, not a pick.

WOPR = 1.5·target share + 0.7·air-yards share (mean per game). The read compares opportunity vs production percentiles — weight this, not the box score.

Backfield · efficiency vs volume · 2025

RB value is a different equation

Real Next Gen rushing: yards over expected per carry vs. volume, with stacked-box context. We read volume as the floor and efficiency as the (regression-prone) ceiling. Context, not a pick.
