Finding WR Breakouts Article (1 Viewer)

Not sure where I found it (if I knew I'd not be asking), may have been on this site or may have been another, I think it is 2+ years old. Here was the base theory:

- Looks at 4 categories (labled B, B, C, and D), but essentially was # of catches last season and # of yards for players in 1st and 2nd season (3 if 1 was cut short by injury).

- Has % of WRs fitting each category who "breakout" next season.

- Based on # who fit category, shows who is best candidates for breakout (based on fitting into multiple categories).

I know this sounds vague, but hoping this rings a bell with someone who can refer me to the correct resource. I think I have on my other computer, but had a water leak in house and right now that computer is stored pending restoration.

Any help would be appreciated.

 
PM Doug Drinen - It was his, but the link is broken.
I'm not sure it was DDs article...I can google and get his article, but it is simply a study of if the 3rd year WR breakouts are true. The one I'm thinking of actually helps sort through to narrow down who among those WRs might be a breakout.
 
As I recall Drinen's article, it showed that the 3rd year breakout theory was a myth.
Yes, as I said I've read Drinen's article and it is not the one I'm looking for.The article I'm looking for is focused on finding young receivers who are poised to breakout, not necessarily 3rd year receivers though. I used it last year to pick up Kevin Curtis in many of my drafts, but have lost the article and Google isn't helping much (may be from a now defunct fantasy site).
