This stat measures how efficient a quarterback is in terms of the number of passes it takes for him to throw a touchdown. This list is valuable because it conveys which QBs need fewer attempts to pile up scores and which have to throw a lot of passes before throwing a TD.

If you can roughly estimate how many times a QB will throw in a given game, this list should give you a pretty good idea of how many TDs to expect. Over the course of a season, the players near the top of the list are likely to throw for the most scores.

Note: All quarterbacks, who have started 16 or fewer games since 2005 are marked with an asterisk. Rookies are not included in these lists.

This stat calculates a quarterback’s efficiency based on his average number of passing yards per TD toss. Like the attempts/TD list, this table shows which QBs don’t have to accumulate big yardage numbers to result in scoring throws and which do.

Again, if you can approximate the amount of passing yards a QB will have, this list should tell you about how many TDs he’ll throw. Expect the players closer to the top to hit paydirt more often.

This list is the percentage of games started in which a quarterback has thrown for at least 300 yards. For those who play in fantasy leagues that award bonuses for 300-yard passing games, this stat could be quite beneficial.

Since those near the top of this list are more likely to get you bonus points, they might be worth bumping up on your cheat sheet. If all other stats are similar, a player who can hit the 300-yard mark in five or six games will be distinctly more valuable than a guy who only does it once or twice in a season.
