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 it 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 translates to more opportunities for big plays.

With regular season now complete, let's take a look at the leading receivers in air yards.
