Back in early November, I kicked off this season’s touchdown regression analysis with a breakdown of each qualified quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end’s touchdown rate over the first nine weeks of the regular season. In that piece, I listed some of the highest and lowest touchdown rates at each position. As always, the thought was that many of those noticeably high/low rates would regress towards the mean in the second “half” of the season.
With only three games left on the 2012-13 schedule, it’s as good a time as any to look back and see how we did.
Quarterback
Our original quarterback list included 33 names. Each of the 33 quarterbacks had attempted at least 100 passes during the first nine weeks of the season. Of the 33, we’re eliminating seven quarterbacks that failed to throw at least 50 passes from Week 9 on. Those quarterbacks are Alex Smith, Kevin Kolb, Blaine Gabbert, Michael Vick, Matt Hasselbeck, Matt Cassel, and John Skelton.
That leaves us with a solid sample size of 26 quarterbacks to look at.

| Philip Rivers | 248 | 12 | 4.8% | 228 | 14 | 6.1% | 1.3% |
Our first chart shows the 13 quarterbacks who enjoyed a touchdown rate above the 4.6 percent league average over the first nine weeks (which I’m going to call the ‘first half’ going forward). We see here that 9-of-13 (69 percent) quarterbacks regressed, including each of the five highest marks.
Although I’m showing all qualified quarterbacks, the point of this exercise is, and always has been, to examine the regression probability of only the drastically high and low touchdown rates at each position. That being said, I’m going to use a threshold of 6.5 percent here since we see the biggest gap between Josh Freeman (7.0 percent) and Ryan Fitzpatrick (6.1 percent). That leaves us with four quarterbacks (Rodgers, Manning, Brees, Freeman), all who saw their touchdown rates regress in the second half. In my piece at the midway point, Freeman, Fitzpatrick, and Wilson were highlighted. Wilson was an obvious exception to our rule, but the other two showed the largest regression on this chart.

Our next chart is the opposite of the previous one. It shows the touchdown rates belonging to the 13 quarterbacks below the 4.6 percent league average in the first half of the season. Of the 13, an impressive 11 (84 percent) regressed. Even more impressive, each of the 11-highest touchdown rates from the first half regressed by at least 0.1 percent. The only exceptions were the two quarterbacks nearest to league average, which basically makes them irrelevant to this study anyways. Of the five quarterbacks I highlighted in November, all five regressed in the second half.
For the purpose of our calculations, we’ll count any quarterbacks under 3.5 percent, which is the separation between Sam Bradford (3.4 percent) and Christian Ponder (3.8 percent).

Running Back
Our original examination of running backs included a sample of 46 backs who eclipsed 50 rush attempts in the first half of the season. Of those 46, we’re going to toss out the 10 backs who failed to carry the ball at least 35 times in the second half. They are Daniel Thomas, Isaac Redman, Donald Brown, Jonathan Stewart, Willis McGahee, Andre Brown, Kendall Hunter, Cedric Benson, Maurice Jones-Drew, and Ryan Williams. Unfortunately, we highlighted four of those backs in the original piece, but they simply didn’t see enough of a second-half workload to qualify for an accurate assessment.
Anyways, that leaves 36 backs to be examined.

Another chart, another success story. The backs with the seven-highest touchdown rates in the first half each regressed in the second half, six of them by a margin of at least 1.9 percent. Going deeper, 11 of the top 12 rates regressed. Overall, 74 percent (14-of-19) of rates above the 2.8 percent league average regressed.
Our cutoff here will be 4.0 percent, which comes between Mikel Leshoure (4.3 percent) and Michael Bush (3.9 percent).

Here’s where we finally start to hit a snag. Unfortunately, there are always going to be backs that don’t have a ton of breakaway speed, but spend a lot of time getting the ball between the 20s. We see here that, of our 36 backs, only four failed to find paydirt in the first half. Of those four, two finished the season without a touchdown. That’s already two in the ‘miss’ column. Adding fuel to the fire are Ryan Mathews, LeSean McCoy, Darren McFadden, and Pierre Thomas. They combined to score zero second-half touchdowns on the ground.
On the plus side, Vick Ballard and Jonathan Dwyer each scored twice in the second half. Steven Jackson and Demarco Murray both scored three times. Overall, only 59 percent (10-of-17) of rates below the 3.8 percent league average regressed.
Even worse, with a cutoff of 1.2 percent, which is between Mathews (1.1 percent) and Murray (1.3 percent), our qualified accuracy is dismal.

Wide Receiver
Our original study examined 58 wide receivers with 40-plus targets during the first half of the season. Of those 58, nine failed to reach the 30-target mark in the second half. Eliminated from the study are Dwayne Bowe, Dexter McCluster, Michael Jenkins, Jordy Nelson, DeSean Jackson, Kevin Ogletree, Titus Young, Nate Burleson, and Percy Harvin.
That leaves us with strong sample of 49 wideouts.

And we’re back. Of the 25 wide receivers with a touchdown rate above the 4.9 percent league average, 22 (88 percent) regressed in the second half. That really is an amazing rate. Of the 18 wideouts with a rate above 6.5 percent in the first half, 17 (94 percent) had a lower second-half mark.
Of course, every year, there’s one major exception to the rule. This year, it was James Jones, who somehow managed to score 15 times over 18 games for Green Bay. His 16.3 touchdown rate in the second half was actually greater than his league-leading 13.3 percent first-half mark.
Of the six wideouts we highlighted in November, all but Jones regressed in the second half.
Our cutoff here will be nine percent, which separates Vincent Jackson (9.5 percent) from Torrey Smith (8.9 percent).

Our second chart is further confirmation that touchdown regression is in full force when it comes to wide receivers. The bottom four and 12 of the lowest 13 touchdown rates from the first half regressed in the second half. Overall, 17-of-24 (71 percent) of rates below the 4.9 percent league average were higher in the second half.
Our primary outlier here is Brian Hartline, who failed to find the endzone after Week 4. He’s the only wideout with a touchdown rate below 3.2 percent in the first half to not score at least once from Week 10 on. Of the six wide receivers we highlighted in November, all but Hartline regressed in the touchdown department.
We’ll go with a cutoff point of 1.7 percent, which is the separation between Antonio Brown (1.6 percent) and Anquan Boldin (1.9 percent).

Tight End
Although our tight end sample is actually lower than what we had to work with at quarterback, there is still something to be learned from the data. Back in November, we started out study with 27 tight ends that had 30-plus targets through nine weeks. Of the 27, three failed to reach the 20-target mark in the second half. The three we’ll eliminate are Coby Fleener, Ron Gronkowski, and Fred Davis.
A sample of 24 tight ends remains.

We see strong results here. Each of the seven-highest tight end touchdown rates during the first half of the season were lower in the second half. All seven rates dropped by at least 0.9 percent, with Vernon Davis, Heath Miller, and Owen Daniels each seeing rates at least seven percent lower.
Overall, nine of the 11 rates above the 5.5 percent league average for tight ends regressed in the second half. The exceptions, Antonio Gates and Tony Gonzalez, were within two percentage points of the league mean.
Our cutoff point is a cool 10 percent, which separates Scott Chandler (10.3 percent) from Owen Daniels (9.4 percent).

Our final chart takes a look at tight ends with exceptionally low touchdown rates in the first half.
Of the 13 tight ends shown, only eight regressed in the second half (62 percent). Of course, what counts are the names at the top of the list.
Very much like our running back list from earlier, we see at least two situations where a player with an already-low scoring rate failed to score in the second half of the season. Like Daryl Richardson and Alex Green earlier, Rob Housler failed to score at all this season. That’s a miss. Brent Celek scored only once and that occasion came prior to Week 10. Of the six lowest marks from the first nine weeks, four were higher in the second half.
Our final cutoff point of the day will be 1.5 percent, which fits between Jason Witten (1.3 percent) and Brandon Pettigrew (1.8 percent).

Conclusion
I can’t stress it enough that the primary goal here is to focus on the very high and very low rates at each position. That said, we learned today that even rates close to league average tend to regress towards the mean. Consider that of the 68 “high” rates from the first half, 54 (or 79 percent) were lower in the second half. Of the 67 “low” rates, 46 (69 percent) were higher.
That means that, if someone were to give you a player’s touchdown rate at the midway point of the season, you could guess as to whether or not it will be higher or lower in the second half with 75 percent accuracy.
And, as if that isn’t impressive enough, our running accuracy total turned out to be 87 percent. Of the 46 extremely high and low touchdown rates, 40 were lower/higher, respectively, after Week 9.
For the third year in a row, touchdown regression has proven to be as close to a guarantee as you’ll find in football statistics. In the future, before you to decide to buy low or sell high, be sure to check in on each player’s touchdown rate. After all, those six points could be all that separates you from a league title.
