2005 QB Red Zone Usage
Everyone knows who produced fantasy points and who didn't. We're looking here for foundational stats that enable us to better assess whether bottom-line production was properly supported. If not, we revise 2006 rankings upward or downward depending on the stength or weakness of the supporting statistic.
Here, with QB Red Zone Usage, we're checking to see the quantity of bread-and-butter red zone plays each QB was given on a per game basis. And we also assess how QBs capitalized on these opportunities by finding the endzone via the air or with their legs. Our rankings put this data into further context, assessing whether opportunities and efficiency are likely to be static, increase or decrease and why.
