What RYOE Measures
Rush yards over expected compares how far a runner actually went with how far an average back would be expected to go on the same carries, given the position and speed of the blockers and defenders at the handoff. A back at plus 40 has gained 40 yards more than expected this season. RYOE per attempt adjusts for workload, so it is the better number for comparing a starter with a change of pace back. Runners need 15 carries to appear.
