Receiver cost
Balls That Got There
This measures uncontested incompletions: the ball reached a receiver, nobody defended it, and it was not caught. That bucket holds drops and off-target throws — an inaccurate quarterback will rank high here entirely on his own, so read it alongside the receiver breakdown below.
The column that actually points at receivers is vs inside each row. Open a passer and every receiver is measured against that same quarterback's other targets — one arm, one set of throws — so a receiver well above his teammates is the closest this data gets to naming him. A big WR spread says the problem was a person; a high rate with a flat spread says it was the throw.
