Reading a leaderboard for receiving props
Volume comes first for a receiving yards or receptions prop: targets, target share and the routes he runs. Efficiency such as yards per route says how well he turns that volume into yards. Set the season line beside his last few weeks and his matchup: the Coverage Engine shows how he does against man and zone, and defense vs wide receivers shows what each opponent allows.
