*Best Bang for Your TPE Buck - ajtigger - 07-07-2021 After another lackluster season for my player, I wanted to see if I was the worst receiver in the league based on TPE. So I devised a system that would calculate "points" per TPE to see where everyone stacked up. So without further ado, let us look at how the wide receivers stack up. Methodology For my point system, I had to create a way measure a variety of statistics in a way that could help calculate overall value. The first stat I looked at was total catches made. I decided for this stat, a catch should be worth one point, but it should be mitigated by the number of targets a receiver saw. Thus I used Catches *  Catch percentage to calculate my catch point total. Next, was calculating a point value for yards. Yards are obviously the most abundant stat a receiver has. So to not overemphasize these totals, I decided yards should be scaled down. My formula for calculating the points awarded for yards is simply yards *.1 Touchdowns is next, and this was also a very straightforward calculation with just number of touchdowns multiplied by 4. I chose to use 4 rather than 6 as I felt 6 would skew the number way to in favor of those that were much more of red zone threats and not as much of yardage gainers. First downs were just given as a point per first down as I felt a first down should be worthy of 1/4 of a touchdown. Finally, not everything a wide receiver does will be a positive to their team. For this reason I have two negative categories. Drops are -1 point per drop and penalty yards are similar to receiving yards in that it is .1* the total amount of penalty yards. Results So let's discuss the final results. Here are the top five wide receivers by my metric 1. Cole Maxwell .405 Points per TPE 2. Saleem Spence .369 Points per TPE 3. Owen Holloway .346 Points per TPE 4. Mike Hunt .345 Points per TPE 5. Quinton Crash .338 Points per TPE The Bottom 5 are as follows 5. Videl-San .202 Points per TPE 4. Darren Pama .192 Points per TPE 3. Jackson Kingston .192 Points per TPE 4. Joseph Radetzky .181 Points per TPE 5. Achtfunf .130 Points per TPE Discussion So, what do I see immediately, young wide receivers are going to benefit from this over more experienced wide receivers. A majority of my top 5 was rookies or those with only 2 years of experience.  This makes sense given they would have lower TPE and can still put up solid numbers, or in the case of Maxwell spectacular numbers. Second, top wide receivers are unfairly punished. Videl-San was the 5th lowest and not shown was Ty Hood coming in at 6th. These players have so much TPE that they can't use it all and thus are hurt by my calculation that is rudimentary and assumes one can use all TPE. Finally, it does not appear I punished negative aspects enough. Maxwell lost the most points for drops (17) and penalty yards (14.6). The league average for these was -4.84 and -2.7 respectively. This shows that despite being well above average in negative categories, Maxwell was not overly punished for it. So there you have it, a completely flawed metric that might present some insight into who is over or under performing based on TPE. Would love to hear thoughts on how to improve it or if you have any questions about where a specific player ended up let me know. For myself, I was happy to see I was not the worst, but I was closer to the bottom than the top.
