We continue our examination of the passing game with our annual look at receiving plus-minus. Earlier this week, we talked about Drew Brees vacating the throne of passing plus-minus, but he's not the only New Orleans player missing in action. All of Brees' extra completions had to go somewhere, and the Saints have frequently been atop the receiving leaderboard for years as well.
Receiving plus-minus is a stat we annually track to help provide context to catch rate. Given the location of a receiver's targets, it compares his catch rate in each area to historical baselines.
