It’s never too early to start preparing for next season, and for PFF, that means looking at ways to improve PFF Premium Stats.
One exciting option is to introduce more data. And to find out which stats resonate most with you, we’ll be offering select data outside of Premium Stats to see what grabs your interest.
This season, we've rolled out several new advanced metrics, covering everything from team-level fourth-down aggressiveness to wide receivers' success against press coverage.
Click the links below to check out PFF's new metrics.
RECEIVER SEPARATION PERCENTAGE (OVERALL)
Separation percentage measures how often a receiver beats the coverage to get open rather than benefiting from a defense more focused on limiting yards after the catch or stopping them short of the first down.
This metric is not limited to just targeted routes. Instead, it looks at all routes run where a defense tries to prevent a receiver from getting open.
