What These Stats Mean

Separation is the average distance in yards between the receiver and the nearest defender when the ball arrives or the pass is thrown incomplete. Cushion is how far off the nearest defender lines up at the snap. Air yards per target shows how far downfield he is targeted, and air yards share is his portion of his team’s intended air yards. YAC over expected compares his yards after the catch with what an average receiver would gain from the same situations.
