I had a game in which a player had one catch for 30 yards and a TD with no YAC. The box score indicated he had 45 YAC. Incidentally the previous player had made a catch for 45 yards.
That second player also had 4 other catches in the game, some racking up some YAC. However the YAC listed in the game log for those catches does not add up to that player's YAC in the box score.
Since this game I've found similar inconsistencies as far as YAC is recorded. Maybe there is an issue where YAC may accumulate but not be indicated in play-by-play. Also it might be tied into the issue with so many plays occurring involving more YAC than actual yards gained from scrimmage, i.e. screen passes 12-yards behind the LOS.
