Individual Receiving Stats

Combining the data by position group:

      Tgts   Catches   Yds    TDs    Yds/Cat   Yds/Tgt    Catch %    Success Rate   TD Rate

WR       117          73         974        6           13.3            8.3              62.4%              53.8%              5.1%

RB        18           12         108        1            9.0             6.0              66.7%              33.3%              5.6%

TE       10             9           87        2            9.7             8.7              90.0%              80.0%             20.0%

It definitely looks like they should be targeting the TEs more. Because of their extreme catch rate, the yards/target is higher than throws to the wide recievers, the success rate is much higher, and the TD rate is much, much higher.
