Other BTA Rankings: Quarterback | Running Back | Wide Receiver | Tight End
Better Than Average (BTA) was developed to show how players truly rank between themselves by looking at every game from 2010 and for each defense and determining three things:
"8" - Which players scored in the top 8 game performances for fantasy points allowed by a defense. Basically, which players had an above average performance (top 8 in a 16 game season) that a defense gave up.
"4" - Which players scored in the top 4 in game performances for fantasy points allowed by a defense.
"1" - Who had the most fantasy points scored in a game against each defense last season. There could only by 32 such events for wideouts since each defense can only allow one "best game".
BTA - Simply adding up the 1, 4 and 8 values to arrive at a numerical expression of how effective a wide receiver truly was last year compared to all other wideouts. The ease or strength of schedule doesn't matter. Only what a player did against all other players in that position against that defense.

It is a challenge enough for any wideout to turn in the best performance against any defense given that it will typically face at least three different receivers per week. To do it more than once is a major feat and we witnessed a big change with not only Calvin Johnson taking the lead, but Dwayne Bowe, Hakeem Nicks, Dieon Branch, Brandon Lloyd and Mike Wallace being major surprises last season.
There could be a major shake up in this listing this year. The wideouts are not getting as much time to meld in the passing game thanks to the lockout and there will be a number of new quarterbacks in the league. This will change greatly next year as it does almost every season.
