I looked up the numbers for 2013, just to compare

Total: 160.7 yd/TD
TE: 116 yd/TD
WR: 165.5 yd/TD
RB: 224.1 yd/TD

Turns out my gut was right. If we compare Thomas’ 2013 to this number, we’d expect 6.8 TD – almost 2 more. So, his 12 is still very impressive, but isolating positions does hurt TEs a little.

Agreed.

Though, I don’t think the purpose of this post is to assess value based on touchdowns scored, just to note which players seem to score receiving touchdowns at a high rate relative to their yardage.
