The average receiving yards for a starting wide receiver in the NFL can vary significantly based on the player's talent, team scheme, and game situation. However, a typical starting receiver might average around 800 to 1,200 yards per season. Top-tier receivers can exceed this range, often surpassing 1,300 or 1,400 yards in a season, especially in pass-heavy offenses. Overall, the average can fluctuate yearly based on league trends and player performance.

Does passing yards include distance run by the receiver?
No, passing yards only account for the distance the ball travels from the quarterback to the point where the receiver catches it, not the distance the receiver runs after the catch. For example, if a quarterback throws a 10-yard pass and the receiver runs an additional 20 yards after the catch, the play would be credited as 10 passing yards for the quarterback, but the receiver's total yards would include both the catch and the run.
