2020 receptions by yardage range, a thread:

.@SleeperHQ is my favorite platform not only for playing #fantasyfootball, but also for researching. So let's take a look at those charts.

Ben Roethlisberger took Alex Smith's place as the league's Tyrannosaurus (you know, that short-armed dinossaur). We're used to see those passes going to RBs, but the Steelers passed a lot to guys in short routes. Oh, and our former dinossaur, Smith, also helped WFT to be up there

Who moves the chains better than @PatrickMahomes?
In this range, we find many playoff-caliber teams leading ranks (and reliable QBs, like Ryan, Watson, Stafford...)

Any QB can try long passes, but who does have the accuracy besides the strong arm?
Brady, Rodgers, Mahomes, Watson and Murray led completions of 30+ yards, and the Eagles were high here.

Baltimore sure can use more (and better) passes to be multidimensional, but it's just not their nature yet. Roman will have a new 1st round WR in Rashod Bateman and the veteran (also 1st rounder) Sammy Watkins, but who will they be? Change of pace or Willie Snead replacements?

The Steelers, on the other hand, attempted and completed the most passes, although most of them were short. Najee Harris came in last draft's 1st round to give them some ground game (and maybe change the direction of those short passes).

How do you view those charts? Let's discuss.
