We have been spending some time in the red zone lately. First, we covered <\/span>what we can take away from team-level production in the red zone<\/span><\/a>. Following that up, we covered the actual fantasy scoring compared to expected points scored in the red zone for <\/span>quarterbacks<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>running backs<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>wide receivers,<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>tight ends<\/span><\/a>. With one final dive into red zone production, we are going to explore which players rely on the red zone the most and the least to produce their touchdowns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here, we can get a good gauge on which players are not solely reliant on their respective teams reaching one section of the field regularly and those who do. The added bonus gained is if you are in a league that rewards fantasy points based on touchdown length.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are arbitrarily breaking the passing touchdowns for quarterbacks over their careers down into buckets of scores thrown from outside of the red zone (the remaining percentage of that being touchdowns thrown inside of the red zone) and touchdowns thrown from inside of the 10-yard line to go along with the average length of touchdown pass thrown.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
