Looking at our top 4 WRs (by yards), we have..
- Jarvis Landry: 89 catches, 10.3 yds per catch
- Rishard Matthews: 43 catches, 15.4 yds per catch
- Kenny Stills: 22 catches, 17.8 yds per catch
- DeVante Parker: 13 catches, 16.0 yds per catch
As you can see, Jarvis Landry has a very low 10.3 yds per catch.
Then looking at the NFL's top 32 receivers (by yards), and you'll see that Jarvis Landry's 10.3 yds per catch is the absolute lowest. Dead last.
Something curious: the other NFL team that has their leading WR with a similar low yds per catch average is Philadelphia (Jordan Matthews, 10.6 yds per catch). And we run a similar offense to Philadelphia (Chip Kelly, Bill Lazor offensive scheme).
Jarvis Landry is a great slot receiver. But maybe we throw the ball to him too much, which is limiting the offense.

No.... this is the must absurd stat! Landry is AMAZING at making defenders miss the first tackle and gaining lots of YARDS AFTER CATCH. Actually he is the SECOND WR in the entire NFL (only behind Odell Beckham) in yards after catch per catch, he is not the one to blame for catching the ball 90% of the time 1 or 2 yards away from the LOS. It is the design of the plays and that Ryan Tannehill throws to him a LOT in those situations because it is EASIER to throw those short passes than trying to find him on middle range throws. If it was another system AND another QB throwing him the ball, you would see his YPC being in the TOP 5 of the league. Don't make a mistake, there are a LOT of problems on this team. You can blame the OL, the OC, the TE's, the QB and the system, but LANDRY is the BEST playmaker we have on offense and the only problema he has is that he can't hide his frustration from being such a miss match and being so poorly used because of the scheme and the QB.
