## Description

Compares the production relationship between a team's primary running back and primary wide receiver. Each point represents a game, revealing whether teams lean on ground game (high RB1 yards) or passing game (high WR1 yards) for yardage production. Can identify complementary vs competing offensive balance between run and pass playmakers.Across 13,351 NFL team-games from the 1999 through 2024 seasons, the two show essentially no correlation (r = -0.06): a big rushing day for the lead back says almost nothing about how the top receiver will do in the same game. That makes them close to independent outcomes, which matters when combining them in same-game parlays or fantasy lineups.
