Lately I’ve been pondering how to apply aDOT to Fantasy Football. If you’re not familiar with aDOT (Average Depth of Target), it’s a great stat that basically measures how far downfield from the line of scrimmage a player is when he receives a pass target on average.
While aDOT applies to any type of receiver, I’m most interested in analyzing it for Wide Receivers as they are typically the deep threats.

There are still some hitters who can help down the stretch run of the 2021 Fantasy Baseball season.

Sometimes it is hard to find available players who can help though.

As such, I’ll only cover my top 5 Tiers of RB’s today – 48 players in total. To see my full list of rankings, check out the NFL Ranks section of the website.
