Obviously, that is not drops. However, those catch rate do point to why two of those guys were allowed to leave the team (1 via free agency and 1 via trade) and one got PAID.




[EDIT] I found a website, SportingCharts.com, that has a table of "drops." I don't know how they determine what is a "drop" so take it with a grain of salt.

On their chart, for 2016:

026 targets / 3 drops / 11.5% drop rate = RB Josh Ferguson
022 targets / 2 drops / 09.1% drop rate = TE Erik Swoope
052 targets / 3 drops / 05.8% drop rate = TE Dwayne Allen
035 targets / 2 drops / 05.7% drop rate = RB Robert Turbin
059 targets / 3 drops / 05.1% drop rate = WR Phillip Dorsett
155 targets / 6 drops / 03.9% drop rate = WR T.Y. Hilton
034 targets / 1 drops / 02.9% drop rate = WR Chester Rogers
075 targets / 2 drops / 02.7% drop rate = TE Jack Doyle
047 targets / 1 drops / 02.1% drop rate = RB Frank Gore
056 targets / 1 drops / 01.8% drop rate = WR Donte Moncrief
004 targets / 0 drops / 00.0% drop rate = WR Quan Bray

For their time with the Colts:

197 targets / 11 drops / 5.58% drop rate = TE Dwayne Allen
311 targets / 13 drops / 4.18% drop rate = TE Coby Fleener
118 targets / 03 drops / 2.54% drop rate = TE Jack Doyle

For last season, NE had 2 TEs which more than 3 targets:

073 targets / 2 drops / 02.7% drop rate = TE Martellus Bennett
038 targets / 0 drops / 00.0% drop rate = TE Rob Gronkowski

If the Cheats are looking for Doyle, Bennett or Gronkowski rates of drops from Allen, they are going to be sorely disappointed.

Cheers,

Would it be fair to say that Fleener would have a deeper threat than Allen. So those catches and drops didn't account for the short route to longer routes?

Just curious
