According to Next Gen Stats, DJ Moore led all NFL wide receivers with an average of 7.9 yards after the catch in 2018.


Even more impressive was his average YAC above expectation. Essentially, Next Gen Stats creates an expected yards after catch number, based on numerous factors using tracking data such as how open the receiver is, how fast they’re traveling, how many defenders/blockers are in space, etc.


Moore's expected yards after the catch was 4.9, making his YAC above expectation average of 3.0 the second-highest among all NFL wide receivers and tight ends.
