Total Points per Game (TP/G) is similar to WAR and represents impact of a player on overall game.
Yards per route run (YRR) is a view on both performance and ability to get targeted in passing.
YAC per reception (YAC/R)
Pass blown block percentage (PassBB) measures how often a block was blown in pass protection
Run blown block percentage (RunBB) measures how often a block was blown in run game
Broken and Missed Tackles per route (BMT) is a view on how a receiver creates.


Cornerback:
Outside if Sauce and Stingley (who I am not including because they will be gone by 15), I am less sure on the CBs than last year (Greg Newsome as a mid/late R1 pick).

R1 Favorites: Trent McDuffie
