FanDuel Sportsbook Promos Receivers with the Most Air Yards This Season
Air yards can act as a key metric to identify high-impact receivers for your fantasy football lineup.
To put simply, air yards measure the distance a football travels in the air beyond the line of scrimmage on a passing play, whether the pass is completed or not.
For fantasy football managers, this can highlight receivers with significant potential. More air yards often translate to more opportunities for big plays.
With Week 4 now complete, let's take a look at the leading receivers in air yards.
All stats are powered by numberFire.
