Jarvis Landry, and Receiving Yards In Wins and Losses

by Chase Stuart on March 10, 2018

Over his four-year career, Jarvis Landry has a whopping 400 receptions, the most in NFL history for any player in his first four years. Now a member of the Browns after yesterday’s trade, what can we expect from him? Cleveland, of course, went 0-16 last year, which might actually be a good thing for Landry’s numbers. You see, over the course of his career, Landry has been much better in losses than wins.

Landry has averaged 69.4 receiving yards per game in losses, but that number drops by 13.4 yards per game in wins to just 56 yards per game. That’s a sizable discount, especially when most receivers average about five more yards per game in wins than losses.

The table below looks at all receivers over the last four seasons to average at least 50 receiving yards per game over more than 32 games, and with a sizable amount of games in both wins and losses (so no Patriots or Jaguars here). Take a look:
