Yards Per Route Run (YPRR)

The total receiving yards divided by the number of routes a receiver runs, regardless of whether they were targeted. It measures a receiver's efficiency per opportunity to be targeted.

Like measuring a store's sales per square foot rather than per transaction — it accounts for the full footprint of opportunity.

Why it matters

YPRR is the best efficiency metric for receivers because it accounts for every snap they're running a route — not just the snaps they're targeted.

How DMP uses this

DMP uses YPRR-style efficiency metrics to distinguish between high-volume, moderate-efficiency receivers and low-volume, high-efficiency receivers when setting prop projections.

Common mistake

Evaluating receivers only by yards per catch or yards per target — these miss all the routes where the receiver wasn't targeted but was still creating value or decoy attention.
