Tracking profile
Separation describes how a receiver wins, not how much he will produce; yards after catch over expected is the one repeatable open-field skill here.

Gap decomposition
Delivered production ran -5.3 yd/wk against earned opportunity this season. After-catch skill (xYAC -0.55/rec) is the persistent, portable slice of that gap; the rest tracks the offense around him, not the player.
League tracking aggregates; NFL-qualified weeks only.
Charting profile
A season of drops is mostly luck (year over year .15); never read drop rate as skill. YAC per reception is the strongest repeatable signal here.
