1. Use ACY to separate skill position players on a team into legitimate receiving threats and those who are mainly blockers/runners.
2. Separate team pass attempts into bins based on how many receiving threats are on the field.
3. Within each bin repeat your studies of the relationship between ACY and team pass attempts.

It’s not a complete picture, by any means. To put it in FO parlance, ANYPA is DVOA, but you need both DVOA and DYAR to analyze a player’s season.
