2005 QB Yards Per Pass Attempt

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 yards per pass attempt (YPA), we're looking to double check whether TD production properly correlates with passing proficiency. Historically, TDs correlate quite nicely with YPA. Averaging over eight yards per pass attempt typically gets you int he 30-plus TD range. 7.5 YPA typically results in 25+ scoring strikes. and 7.0 buys you 20. Below 7.0 and you're very likely to finish with less than 20 TD passes. Of course, these numbers assume an equal degree of opportunity, especially on first down and in the red zone. See our other stat pages for those details.
